Completed an amazing silk painting workshop by Clara Applewhaite Mitchell. She's a Trini living Stateside, who has been doing silk painting and working in the 'industry' of home deco for a number of years. We covered patterns, repeats, half drops, toss designs. Makes me interested in the possibilities. I remember when Linda went for an interview to do fabric and it was so not what we had ever done. Now, many years later, the process and understanding of colour made the whole thing easier, and wishing there was the opportunity to do something on this small isle. But there really is little 'industry' here, and I think I would have fun with it.
The creative arts 'industry' is so expensive and often not worth the effort, locally. The printer give the impression that wrapping paper or any kind of independent paper product design is out of reach, when it should not be. There are a world of opportunities, but its slipped out of reach.
