I found a sericulture collective in Cooch Behar that raises the elusive and *amazingly* beautiful Muga silk, Antheraea assamensis. They sent me a packet of samples. I’m SO buying some of this stuff as soon as possible.

A brief personal interlude – this is where I work!
It’s an arts center called The Sammons Center for the Arts; it’s in Dallas, on Oak Lawn at Harry Hines. It’s a renovated historic structure, and we provide office and rehearsal space for local performing arts groups.
We have a monthly jazz music series called Sammons Jazz.
I’m part of a community called stitchswap – we make and trade stitch markers.
These are cloisonne beads; it’s great, because they’re substantial without being too heavy.
