Neither of us was thinking beads this time and if not for an appt in Portland that Friday, we wouldn't have darkened the door of a fabric shop either. But I'm glad we did.<br /><br />Dharma has such a variety of fabrics, and again, I just don't think about checking with them. Don't know if silk gauze is anything I'd be interested in - I'd have to see it first. Then again, I've said before that such and such wasn't for me, then later tried it with success.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip about getting on Fabric Depot's mailing list. I didn't think about notification of web specials, although I did notice I could order over the internet. Judi definitely saved me by giving me a time limit in there. vbgThe Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-50450567222875359082010-04-10T21:19:19.213-07:002010-04-10T21:19:19.213-07:00Dharma also has silk gauze which is very nice.

Their mail order is good (and you always get a discount) and they also have an 800 number if you know exactly what you want. If you are on the mailing list, you get notifications on web specials. I sound like an ad! LOL! Thanks for sharing your trip. I love Hood River. Did you get to the bead shop? cheers.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445248265375722385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-22540037725119738352010-04-10T19:37:31.703-07:002010-04-10T19:37:31.703-07:00I didn't think about Dharma having organza, le...I didn't think about Dharma having organza, let alone painting it. But I'm glad I didn't order something sight unseen. The first organza I fingered was stiffer than I anticipated and had a very visible weave. I was about to think I had the wrong idea of what organza was. Then I found more which was a much finer weave (and thus more "invisible") with a softer hand. That made me ready to commit, in spite of the hefty price tag!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-71577273781428034172010-04-10T00:24:57.617-07:002010-04-10T00:24:57.617-07:00Ooh, silk organza!

I've been painting white silk organza from Dharma and layering it over other fabric to create more depth. You should have a lot of fun with your multicolor piece.Sherrie Spanglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439380401594187156noreply@blogger.com
