'Time, time, time , see what becomes of me'

SPending days on the deck surrounded by nature and color and birds and silks flapping in the breeze...indigo dye bath happening and about to harvest some madder root, which is spreading all over the garden...and woad,not to mention all the food.....here are a few of the fresh from the pot scarves and I am in love with chestnut leaves, and bamboo, but do have some seeded  eucalyptus to work with also....the first is of the liquid amber leaves on the iron cotton cloth and have made hangings from this iron blanket, sometimes the blankets are the winner in the printing so it does pay to use nice blanket material..and for something completely different, some of my gourd carvings...then Two  more scarves which were alum mordanted, then dyed with carrot top, them laid leaves, a blanket and voila...they came out a very rich gold green which I love....my fav prints are mostly the latest I take out of the pot, they are very exciting to work on and my work isn't done yet.....
