Natural Dye Blog Crawl
 

this weekend!!! 

 

There are some super talented artists dyeing with natural dyes on the blog list,

so stop on by and say hello!

Blog Yard Sale

Blog yard sale - I'm working on that.  It turns out these sorts of things are way harder in real time, especially since John was on vacation this past week, than when just pondering them.  Sound familiar?  So much to do and so little time to do them in.

Some goodies that'll be going into the shop and soon!  I have these kits of collage/embroidery yummies in pinks, yellows, blues, and greens.

Samples

Cynthia Wenslow asked on her blog if anyone else made samples, and my anwser is YES!  Consider it a hold over from art school where we were expected to make sketches and color swatches of EVERYTHING before we even made something.  But to anwser Cynthia's question... with the cost of supplies exploding I'm making more samples than I ever have in the past.  Above is a color sample of pink on black to see if it was possible, the anwser is YES with opaque pink paint on top of black fabric.

Blogger changes

For some reason I no longer have control over my blogger postings, how it's going to be presented. If this is a permanent change then I guess I will go else where for my blogging, I like having COMPLETE control over my blogs.
