Still in San Diego 02-10-24

Seems the rain has stopped for now,  but it is cold.  Down to 41F  at night and only  up to mid-60s in the day time.  No flooding at the house we have in Pacific Beach area.  

I have been working on the pictures, but cannot post  them.  The screen sneers back "pictures  will upload when  connected to wi-fi".   However, the settings say I AM connected  to wi-fi!  Yes,  I turned it off and back on.  Didn't help.  So no classroom pictures tonight.

Physically this  trip is a mistake, but since I signed up in September it wasn't possible to cancel in January.   I would forfeit my money and the  instructor, Pat Pauly would be without a dwelling and a driver.  However, I  am so glad I am here, the class is fascinating, the teacher is good (and a good roomie), and I am enjoying the adventure.   I plan to rest when I get home and start  with a personal trainer to get strength back.   So, all  is  well.   Tomorrow I will be alone here while others go to Coronado and hope to walk on the beach.   I will work trying to get the pictures to post and also do some paperwork I brought from home thinking I would have time to work on it.     It  is11pm and past time to be asleep.

Classwork with Pat Pauly 02-06-24

 It is too late and I MUST get to bed!!!    But here are a few  images of student work on the 2nd day of class.   I'll try harder tomorrow.  

Student and Pat work.  There is a huge mirror behind where Pat does her demos. 

I took this in the mirror as you can see me at the top near the middle. 

Student work, using direct application and some roller. 

Andrea Bacal work  using stencils with dye applied with roller. 

Del's piece of truck tire picked up years ago along I-5.  I have always wanted to use it for printing.  I put the print ready fabric on the piece tread and then applied the dye with a roller. This is four  "squares".  I have since printed over it with a different color.

Traveling 02-04-24

 

Drove to San Diego this afternoon/evening to take a fabric printing class with Pat Pauly. 

We are sharing my Air B&B until next Monday, the 12th  There wasn't  much traffic and only a few rain showers.  All the freeway  alert signs warned people not to drive Sunday - Tuesday.

I hope to  post some pictures, but will have to check with Pat and fellow students.
