Hello Dharma Trading , I've had a few years of artistic bliss" looking through
your catalog, planning my next medium to incorporate into my work. The past
three years I've genuinely tried to push my marbled fabric to the public. I
even tried The San Rafael Thursday night "farmers market" last year, for a few
nights, dragging my tent and material after work, fighting the wind. A few
people would wander over to my booth, whisper the process to each other like it
was a privilege to have knowledge of the Ancient art. Others embraced it as new
and exciting. I have found an avenue for my cotton, as some local quilting
stores, and avid quilters have embraced my work, but this alas is not keeping
me
afloat. I'm planning to move to Hershey Pa. to be near my aging mother, the end
of the summer. I think there I can afford to start a new studio, and continue
my
work. But before I leave I was hoping you might be interested in a new marbling
artist as your featured artist. I have downsized my web site but it contains
pictures of my work. marbledfabric.com I
buy all my Pima
cotton from you, the
best price I've found. Plus I prefer Spectrolite
paints, they are "ready for use"
, and I first found them and everything else I needed in your catalog. Thanks
for your attention Gretchen of "Vansant Designs" marbledfabric.com
