Coloring

I hadn't really planned to do any dying, but Barb had done some and there were lots of mixed dyes leftover,so we decided that our Autumn Equinox event would be to do some dying.
I had been intrigued by fabric pastels and had found some on sale, also I had purchased a bunch of fabric at a yard sale during the summer for super cheap, so I made ready for a coloring project.




Here is step one, sitting on the porch beneath the hops and beside the grapes in the sun, sipping tea and coloring.




Step two, "coloring" in the lines with dye.




Step three, adding background color, dye, of course.








The process:












And here is one version of the finished product.

Creating

I did a bit of harvesting last night,

and then a bit of crafting.

I have had the bug, but haven't been able to fit it into the summer schedule.

But I started carrying around some pearls and pliers and had

a little baggie of "hung" pearls to play with...

and some deer hide, not sure how I decided deer hide and white pearls

complimented one another.....

But I am satisfied with the outcome...

toss in a few garnets and some silvery pearls.

Yeah!
