Hi!

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

What a fascinating new community! And I even have to share something.. though I rarely have the time to tinker around with this hobby. This is a silk shawl I painted for my friend jodancingtree back in January - and I will visit her in Michigan this June to see it again (not only for that purpose, of course). It is based on my fic Before I go to sleep, with quotes from the text and things that play a role in the story; the elvish runes mean indil, which is "Lily" and the name of the OC I created for this tale.

I know, some of you have already seen this, but I like the idea of this community very much - and I have seen quite a few wonderful things here (budgielover's bedroom ceiling...*melts*)

That is just beautiful work! The gold is very vibrant--what sort of fabric paint did you use? And I *love* the leaves!

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

A special silk paint. It's a tricky stuff - you have to iron it before you can be sure that it stays on the fabric. So beware of curious kids with lemonade glasses...*shudder*

Oh, that's really beautiful! I love the vibrant colours and the leaves and the quotes and the bottle with the quill pen and just everything!

Ooops - sorry, that was me. I have no idea why LJ threw me out.

Isn't it? I must admit I'm rather proud of it. *smiles*

So beautiful!!
How long did you work on this? I think I would never have enough patience, no matter how beautiful the outcome.

Two days. The colors are not waterproof until you have ironed the whole thing, and so you have to wirk very fast to get it done before any accident might happen. I painted the outlines the first evening, and when they had dried the next morning, I painted the rest - until 2.30 a.m. in the night, but I wanted to be sure to get it done.

This is just beautiful. The colors are perfect. What a labor of love.

The shawl is beautiful. No. It is stunning. You are a true polymath.

BTW I have seen a silver necklace that resembles the one on the salmon-pink square

Thank you, dear - and I would love to see that silver necklace, too!
