New Colors of Silk Rayon Fabric Dyed Yesterday!

I had so much fun with my first offering of dyed silk rayon fabric, that I decided to buy 2 more yards of fabric and spent yesterday (and in to the wee hours of the morning) dyeing more! You would think having this much fun has to be illegal!

From my friend, Christine, for you Mom!

Christine painted this wee little hummingbird for what would have been Mom's 82nd Birthday on June 4th! Mom's favorite's were hummingbirds and this wee little painting is just perfect! Thank you, Christine!  For those who are interested in seeing more of Christine's art, this is the link to her etsy shop:

Hand dyed this mohair using Sedona Red Rocks!

When Alison McKee and Joanne Livingston and I took a trip up to Sedona last year, I borrowed some of the gorgeous red rocks from Sedona to dye some mohair with. I finally soaked the rocks in boiling water this weekend and used my finest vintage kid mohair to dye. It's not as red as I would have liked but it's still a very pretty color! I'm looking forward to making a bear from it!
