Wild Horses Treasury
I love horses, I don't ride them but I love to watch them move! I was really happy to get a treasury tonight and this one is to the animal I love to watch running across the open plain.

Prairie Potholes Mosaic
Prairie Potholes
I need to rephotograph the bottom six pieces, these are new additions to my Prairie Pothole Series I began in 2005. I have several more pieces I've started for this series sitting on my sewing table the edges need to be finished and then I"m off to start the other three pieces.

Logwood dyed Jacob Fleece
Two different colors here Above: a grape color using logwood purple. Below: Dark Violet using logwood purple, the bottom fleece is the black AND the white areas of the fleece dyed and bundled together. It would be TOO much work to seperate out the black from the white in the fleece below, it would make a wonderfully mottled or varigated yarn. Available in my Etsy Boutique
Lock lenght is approximately 3 - 3.5 inches.
There are probably some double cuts left in this fleece, there shouldn't be much though I think the person doing the shearing might have been tired by the time he got to this ram, number 30 in the flock. There is also vegetable matter in this fleece which will come out during the carding process. Available in my Etsy Boutique
I've kept a portion of this fleece for myself and have carded it up already on my drum carder it is divine!

New Etsy Store
I opened a new store to sell my hand dyed wool and yarns. I decided it was time to seperate the natural dyed items from the ones I dye using acid dyes. You can visit my new store Hackberry Studio here.

More Wool
The first batt blended, I love this cloud grey color it's the kind of color you see here on the prairie in late October into early December as the cold fronts slowly make their way here.
Logwood Dyed Silk Carrier Rods
These are still drying but are stunning none the less, I can't wait to mix them in with the Jacob for a hardy art yarn. For once I'm making a yarn for myself, which means it'll probably never get done.
