Nice blog and Batik.. I used to batik in the 70′s and still have some of the pieces. Saw you on Linkenin.
Thanks for letting me know-I think we all got interested in it during the 60′s and 70′s. It’s always nice to hear from people who understand the medium!
Hi Muffy,
Thanks for visiting my blog! When I searched you out, I remembered visiting your blog once before. Your batik work is wonderful! Like the other commenter, I also did batik for a while back in the 70s. I even batiked cafe curtains for my first apartment!
Hay, I saw your work at the FGCU ArtLAb.I’m a student there. Was just searching for fgcu stuff… Glad to find your blog. I didn’t know you worked locally. Have ever thought about teaching a class at the school?
Yes, I work on the FGCU campus in the Broadcast Building. Please feel free to contact me.
Sweet, I run the weekly comic in Eagle News. Do you work with the art department or somewhere else?
