I've pretty much gotten rid of my oils, but maybe you could do some experimenting and let us know how it works. I get my Dupioni silk from JoAnn Fabrics. They have a variety of colors from which to choose; I use white, ecru, and <br />sometimes a soft sky blue which works beautifully for little scenes like the cottage scene. The blue background would be nice for the dragonflies I paint, also. I bought my first piece of blue silk just recently, so I'm still in the playing stage.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />CarolynCarolynPhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561414352635851207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001568150900470143.post-12831132290782765082009-07-16T15:29:40.887-07:002009-07-16T15:29:40.887-07:00Ladies, thank you for your lovely remarks!I guess ...Ladies, thank you for your lovely remarks!I guess you can guess how much I love to paint --and to be able to use the paintings with the CQing that I also love is a real blessing. <br /><br />Judy, I like your idea of doing a tutorial on using curved CQ piecing, I'll try to work on that.<br /><br />Thanks to you all, CarolynCarolynPhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561414352635851207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001568150900470143.post-61682058254692592022009-07-13T06:25:48.246-07:002009-07-13T06:25:48.246-07:00Hello Carolyn, your naked block is absolutely beau...Hello Carolyn, your naked block is absolutely beautiful.

I have lots of oil paints and I know the shiva paintsticks are oils, but just wondering if the oil paints would work?

Except for the slubbing, it's so smooth and soft which makes it so easy to do the detailing that you love. But, I do love the slubbing in the silk as it makes the paintings so much more interesting.<br /><br />You asked if I had ever painted on buttons. I have, but not on the MOP buttons you use. I've painted on satin covered buttons, as well as the little white plastic ones with the gold or silver filigree frame around them. I've also painted on little hearts and ovals of bisque and porcelain. <br /><br />Thanks for your interest, I am such a fan of yours!

I was thanking you for the idea of painting on silk... I do the birds on MOPS and what a great way to use up odd silk scraps... Do you paint on buttons also?<br /><br />Gerry K.<br />http://olderrose.blogspot.comGerry Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443636394415186783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001568150900470143.post-46103779968982629612009-07-11T16:49:43.717-07:002009-07-11T16:49:43.717-07:00Very pretty, would love to see it progress.Very pretty, would love to see it progress.JodyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200696490952839547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001568150900470143.post-42388257110364209172009-07-11T12:51:32.481-07:002009-07-11T12:51:32.481-07:00Love this block!!
