North Carolina Sojourn- Part 1 of 2

       
                                            Paddy's bright and colorful studio space... 


...and my lovely and restful guest quarters.
    

                                   Felting 'flanged' mini-totes with Paddy and Vicki...

                                              ...while surrounded by nature...


...then indulging in a bit of experimental plant dyeing...

...with mordanted cotton and linen clothing items.


                                       We visited the Folk Art Center...


                                       ...of the Southern Highland Craft Guild...


                     ...and chatted with the lovely Charlie Patricolo about her cloth dolls.


                                       At The Laughing Seed Restaurant in Asheville...

                         ...our waitress sported these wonderful, petroglyph tattoos...


                                    ...and while drinking a coffee at Malaprop's bookstore...

             ...we met a talented and beautiful young illustrator, practicing her art.


               We spent a fun morning at the Grovewood Gallery...                                 


                                       ...enjoying their outdoor sculpture garden...



                                 

                                                 ...and beautiful plantings...


                         ...before heading into the historic Grove Park Inn for a peek.
