I've been working on an update for my Rust and Clay Dyeing book, and have been making more samples. It'll be shipping the end of next week, if all goes well, yes it's still on CD-ROM but I"ve moved the video clips so that they are seperate now, making them easier to find and use.
I took this image three hours after I started the fabric. The fabric was dyed in indigo first, then washed, probably three dips, three very blotchy dips. I used some tannin based natural dyes to create the pinkish areas.

How exciting to find you here at Quilt Studio webring. I took a course in spinning, dyeing, and weaving from a Navajo woman at Henderson Museum, CU Boulder many years ago and was fascinated by the natural dyeing. Didn't continue it as I was a working, single mother and it took too much time; but, it sticks in the back of my mind and I still have my books. I look forward to getting better acquainted with your work.
