Colors Abound!

Here are a few of the new scarves I have been working on. I have been doing a lot of dyeing in the last few weeks to prepare for some upcoming shows. I had a big show on the 4th of July, but people weren't really in the market for scarves that day since it was so hot! lol!! School will start in August, so this is my chance to get some dyeing done before the school year gets going.

Scarves really are my favorite "medium." I feel like I can be the most creative when I am working with a scarf. My newest passion has been with some painting techniques with thickened dye.

My Favorite Sites

I spend quite a bit of time online, and I love finding fun "free" stuff. Here are two of my favorite sites that have some free patterns, instructions, and tutorials (or links to those things!) I hope you will enjoy looking through them as much as I do!

Me at work!

Since I am posting today, I thought I would go ahead and add this. I know sometimes online, it is just a random page, random postings . . . so I am going to post a few pictures of me working on a velvet scarf.

This is my arashi shibori technique.








And here is the finished scarf.



You can find it in my etsy shop! Time to go create some more!

Spring is in the air!

With a busy Christmas and New Year's well behind me, I realized I had no other excuses for neglecting my blog. I am still dyeing, I am still selling online, and I am still showing at craft shows! It just seems like I get too busy to talk about it!

I recently sponsored a prize for a game on the Primmart board. Here are several yards of hand-dyed fabric that I sent off as the prize.



I hope that it will make some beautiful gifts. If you are interested in fabric for quilting or projects, please visit my etsy site or contact me.
