Phillippa K. Lack
I have been a Dharma customer for about 20 years, and have always been very pleased with the products and service.
I buy silk yardage, scarves, dyes, markers, Shiva paint sticks (adult crayons), chemicals, and accessories. I work mainly with silk, but sometimes combine commercial cottons and silks in my small art quilts. Inspiration? That's difficult. Thoughts come in the middle of the night, when I am gardening, from photos I take, when I'm going through my considerable stash of fabrics and scraps (do not throw anything away, as immediately you do, you will need it for another project), and oh, yes, there is the WHAT IF? moment, when I look at a piece of silk and say, what if I did this, or that? I follow my ideas where they lead me. I am lucky to have a studio in-house, where I can retreat to and shut out the world, especially in the depths of a Wyoming winter.
I was born in Jamaica of very mixed ethnicity, with my paternal great grandmother born into slavery and my maternal great grandfather a Scotsman of a family once very wealthy, but now with all the money gone, being a nomad of sorts, living in various regions of the US for the past 30 or so years. I have a very supportive husband and two wonderful children, who sometimes think my work is OK, or at worst, weird! Sometimes, they even think it is very good…
Pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are pictures of some of my recent work.
