There are times when I wander YouTube and wonder about half of the videos that are posted by people but there are those moments were something strikes me as 'Wow that's interesting'. I had come across this video several months ago and had thought to myself that I needed to share it. Of course with how things had been going on up to this point, it kept being put back until I finally put my foot down and told myself that I needed stop procrastinating in sharing the beauty of silk painting.
As stated in the description of her video:
Barbara Woods is a silk painter and designer from Santa Fe, NM. She designs functional home lighting and textiles, with original patterns beautifully painted on silk. From silk-dyed pendant lamp shades, to table top trumpet lamps, she creates unique decor for any room.
I have actually never heard of Barbara's small business so decided that I would check out her website www.woodsilks.com to check out more of her work after watching the video. Her hand painted, one of a kind pieces were completely amazing so it was no surprise to me when I discovered that there are several galleries dotted around the United States that carries her works including three locations in California: By the Bay Gallery in Morro Bay, Stix& Stones in Calistoga, and Moonstones Gallery in Cambria. Looking at her work, I couldn't help but remember that there were a couple of people on deviantART who had some examples of different styles of silk painting.
