A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to “Miss
Marble,” Catherine Levine, and to her rapt audience for a wonderful DAFA
meeting last Monday night! If you missed Aug. 27, here are a few pictures to
give you a taste of an evening filled with lots of excitement. Catherine told
us how, in her studio in Dallas, she devotes long hours to the study and re-creation
of historic marbling patterns. With an amazing skill, born of complete
dedication to her art, she demonstrated several different marbling patterns,
ranging from the early “stone” patterns to the more recent “zebra” and “nonpareil”
patterns.

participants. At right, Early Irwin concentrates on her two-part journal with
marbled cover.
THANKS TO LISA COVERT for
leading our mini-workshop on pamphlet-stitched journals. With the help of
mini-workshop chair Chuck Baber, Lisa had kits ready that contained beautiful
marbled paper covers, precut inside papers, and even threaded needles! Now that’s
an organized teacher! We are so lucky to have had all three of these skilled
book arts enthusiasts share their knowledge and love of paper and book arts
with our group.
IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T PAID DAFA DUES for 2012-2013, you have a day or two before an important Sept. 1
deadline. Your name will be included in the Texas Federation of Fiber Artists
directory and you will get your discount-bearing membership card promptly if
you beat the deadline!
