Just fell in love with the smoke from the smoke bush....did try this earlier but did not get these results, and now am thrilled with their crackling effect. summer is winding down and the mArkets arts are one day a week so feel I have lots of time to harvest and work....of course, that is a myth...I seem to have si o many things I want to do and never enough time....sleep certainly cuts into my work play time!,,lol
dyed with goldenrod and with walnut and am gathering for the next blanket.....did more coreopsis and read a great post on fb about working with the naturals macrobiotic-ally, those found in your own backyard, as too many of the other sought after dyes are wracking havoc on their eco systems, not news really but brazilwood is a good example, as it is harvested from the heartwood of the tree thus being heartless it can't survive....not sustainable at all....so waiting for the shrooms to show and I know they are waiting to spring forth...

So beautiful prints of maple leaves. You're lucky to have lots of leaves that give pretty prints. I don't have all those mentioned... walnut, smoke brush, goldednrod..... but trying others from the yard is good. Thanks for sharing in my blog your nice experiments of mushrooms.
Terrie thanks for your comments, and I love your prints, the drawstring felt bag was very inspiring....you don't have cotinus there try a nursery it should grow there....and my printing success I owe to you mostly and your sharing kindness....thanks so much...Now I am at felt feutre for a two day felt workshop with marjolein dallinga, so exciting...i will post photos ...
