Last month our fiberart bee batiked and I brought a waxpot home. Joel sighed and said "Okay, I'll set you up." And he proceeded to set me up a wax studio in the garage. I have a really nice kitchen counter, cabinets, light and a radio. "Please, no dyeing. It's too messy," was his only request.
This month, our fiberart bee dyed fabric. I forgot my batik piece so I just dyed plain old PFD. I tried to imitate Laura Wazilowski's ArtFabrik which is beautiful. Laura Wazilowski I am not, but I am pleased with this attempt and will try again. The good news. . .
Joel saw the fabric and said. . .
"Okay, where do you want a sink."
Gotta love that husband!
Now I'm off to begin quilting Dolores.

You go girl! Great hand dyes. I have kept (22 years) my husband because he is just like yours. When he goes out of town I re-model. He puts up with my fabric painting and dyeing too.
Nice husband or is he just resigned? Lol. Your dyeing turned out well. No wonder you want a dyeing studio.
Joyce,
Lucky for me, nice. I suppose a bit resigned, but resigned to the notion that art is a part of my daily life. He celebrates art with me and I consider myself extremely lucky to have such a soul mate.
He is a musician, which is an art form of its own. I help him feed his soul by supporting his playing and travelling which means he is gone from the family. Could be worse, he could golf! ;)

Sounds like you had to earn his respect first, but I can see how easily you did that!
Lovely work; lovely husband.
Check out the dye studio my DH just put up for me. Don't drool, but I just want to say isn't it wonderful to have husband's who support your need for art? While you are there, check out the batik stamps I have for sale. That's talking batiking! (Sorry for the blanent commercial, but I thought you might want to see them.)
