WIP - Queen Anne's Forest

I will be adding indigo dyed silk organza to this piece later this evening.

Poison Ivy

Texturally speaking it IS inspiring, but I'm tired of itching like mad! I managed to get into a pile of the stuff while picking berries in the woods.

Wild Flowers

I've been spending a lot of time in the woods of late, getting inspiration, photo journaling the native plants throughout the seasons. When I'm not in the woods I've been in my garden, it's starting to warm up here and we are in the throes of creating a new compost pile - just in time for dye season!

You can see what I've been up to at my nature blog Thistle Quill, and over at my home blog Survival Kitchen and of course some artwork pieces on my art blog
