leaf dress


This wonderful dress/top/jacket found a home today.
Thanks Jane!      

It is silk chiffon, which I have dyed and printed.  The pattern was adapted from a 1980 or so disco dress.
It's sort of like a leaf.                                                                            

sunflowers


I have been working on a series of sunflowers, to be pins.


Here are some at various stages.

Then I saw this on etsy:



I fell in love and had to have it!  It is by Jen at walrustusk.  I now know from experience how hard it is to sew beads on in a neat circle.  I really love the perfection of the beading and the artist's exploration of variations of one form.  And the colors.

work space


A peek into one of my work spaces.  That is a cat's foot.


This is the cat.


One of my other work companions, Mowgli.


new stuff


The last of the yellow, for now.
This runner is on etsy.

I am taking a bunch of springy scarves into Modela tomorrow.  They are mostly cotton and dyed in various ways.


One is a great silk-linen blend.


and a couple are dyed with madder, a natural dye.
