purples

I picked this beautiful bouquet from my garden last Saturday, perfect for photographing purples.

I am in pursuit of the perfect purple, which is hard to reproduce.

 These items are in my West Branch shop, and the pillows are also in my  online store.

I am finally getting some pillows in the store!  More to come.
Most of my pillows will be cotton, but I have had several big square silk scarves previously printed, and no one wears big square scarves right now, so I am cutting them up.

When dyeing indigo in a cold rain I think about Japan.
