I've added more stitching today, will finish it by Sunday. I trimmed the sides flush a bit ago and put zig zag stitching across the top. The colors really are this intense, will try to get a better picture with better lighting.
Musings about what I do with my natural, compost, and rust dyed fabrics, ribbons, and fibers.

New Barn Series
New series of barns in the making. Silk velvet that has been dyed with natural dyes (vegetable or botanical dyed), compost dyed and or indigo dyed. The colors really are this vibrant in person! Cotton is not this vibrant but with a lot of work you can get it to this level of saturation ;-) Now to figure how I'm going to stitch these babies and not lose the naunce of what I'm trying to achieve - which is to NOT have them look like a quilt! I'm not sure what the size is at the moment, I'll have to measure the pieces tomorrow, I"m thinking they are around 22"w x 28"h
