Newly Created Silk Scarves by MysticSilks

OK, here I am blogging again about my newest silk beauties, silk scarves.

Now here's what strange, I did a blog last week about 3 of my newest silk scarves, but , yup, it's disappeared. This has happened a lot to my blogs, and that's why I don't become too serious about blogging, because they tend to disappear.

It seems like I am spending so much time online tending to my blogs, my twitter, my facebook, myspace, and my series of online shops and all the SEO criteria, that I have little time or enegry left to create more.

But here are some that I created this summer, and finally got their photos, cripped , cropped, highlighted, sized their pixels, and uploaded etc.

I thank you!

"America, America God Shed His Grace on Thee..."

This mid morning in August of 2009, I heard the rumbling powerful roar of a Thunderbird jet fly over my home in little Warren, OH.; there's an air show at Vienna Air Base, which is about 12 miles away.

Something proud leaped up in my heart as I ran outside , eyes fastened on the sky as the jet sped over my house so low that it cast a shadow on the lawns. I began to clap my hands , and yelled" Way to go boys!" And I guess I felt so proud because of men and women like this who serve and have served in our Armed Forces: The men and woman that have fought so hard to keep this country, the United States of America, free.

And FREE is the keyword here:Free to speak our minds; free to say what we agree, or disagree with, regarding how our elected officials vote.

No one in this country, not even President Obama, should ever say that " we the people" should be ignored because we disagree with his policies i.e., Health care, Caps and Trades bill. Don't ever say that Mr. President!

"We The People.." have husbands, wives, fathers, grand fathers, and great grandfathers, uncles, sons, and brothers who have fought, and who have given their lives so that " we the people.." remain free, and to have our voices heard.

So I guess when I heard that Thunderbird jet roar overhead, I had to give words to the roar of the jet engine: Way to go boys!

Where Oh Where Did My Other Blog Go?

I discovered that I really know so very little about the process of setting up a blog. I had to delete one that I've had for over a year.
The reason it was deleted was because one day I felt quite brave and more knowledgeable than normal, and I decided to add some HTML to my blog.
Well, as a result it doubled every blog entry I had previously written.

The blog actually looked as if the viewer was seeing double!
I felt embarrassed, and as a result, I did not post anything to that blog for many months. I asked for some assist from people who were more literate with blog knowledge, but no one seemed to be able to help me correct the error that was made.

OK, but I had another blog and found out that since I deleted the other blog I for awhile ,could not find the one I am currently writing in.

Well, we'll see if this one holds.

If you get a chance , drop my my etsy store:http://mysticsilks.etsy.com/

So, finally on Friday the 19th of June 2009, I just deleted the double vision blog.

African Serengeti Sunset

Recently I had been working , or should I say 'creating' two new silk hangings.

Now, the differences between a 'silk hanging' and a silk painting, are the time involvement, and cost." African Serengeti" took approximately a month, working once a day for about an hour, to finish the silk hanging.
Then it took another 21/2 hours to steam, to set the dyes. Then another 24 hours to allow the steamed silk to dry ,only to wet it again by washing it in a special soap, rinsing in a conditioned water rinse. Then, ironing it,then temporarily pinning it to a foam core board to take photo shots. Another two-three hours to photo edit it, then uploading it to the http://mysticsilks.etsy.com/ website to
write up a description, a price, add the tags, then click finish.
OK, at this point it is a silk hanging, which the buyer may purchase at the cost of $75.00, plus S&H. The buyer can then mount it on a dowel , or have it framed on their own.

If they choose to have me mount the silk on foam core, and to have it framed, add about another $100.00. , plus the S&H will be more.

So, here is " African Serengeti Sunset"

An Unusual Silk Painting "Bluebird Garden"

When I created this painting, or really any painting,I expect to see what I have added to the silk, not something that just shows up mysteriously.

That happened with this pretty painting of a fairy like sculpture holding a bowl, upon which a bluebird decided to rest for awhile.

If you look between that statue, and the clustered rose bush to the right,there is a faint image of a man and a woman.

Now, I didn't paint those images: They just showed up to enjoy the garden.
