I need to see more!

Hey, would you like a commission? I need a shibori (not tie-dye) something.

You'll see more soon! I just want to make a little more progress first :) And why yes, I would love a commission! haha, I'm happy you made the distinction between shibori and tie-dye! You want to send me an email? brittanybroas@gmail.com

Ooh, this sounds interesting.

P.S. My word verification is "royeless" ... isn't that cool-sounding?

Brittany | the Home Ground said...

Hi Helen! Thanks, I hope it ends up being interesting, haha! Everyone's worst nightmare, that their stuff is boring. I'll be showing more soon :)

Brittany-you have been so busy here...I've missed so much...love it all!!

Theresa! You must just be flattering me, because I haven't posted in forever now! This weekend... I have no time anymore, darn. Thank you tons, though. Your words are always appreciated :)

Wondering Helen said...

Brittany, this is random, but I'm going to offer it anyway: I was reading through your wonderful archives (your work is stunning), and I noticed your mention of hand pain (arthritis?) ... Anyway, have you ever used arnica gel to relieve it? Oh man, I'm thinking you've probably tried everything, but I just wanted to put that out there.

Hope you're well.

The sneak peek is lovely. Can't wait to see more.

Helen - You know, I haven't tried Arnica yet, but have been meaning to. So, thanks for the reminder! I really appreciate you telling me about that :) It's gotten better, but now that I'm not going to physical therapy anymore, it's kind of getting worse again... As long as I can finish the semester!

Lisa - Thanks a ton! You'll see more soon... Perhaps tomorrow :) I've done a bunch of stitching and actually attached the lilypads. I'm not sure about them though.. Be prepared to critique!
