For another very successful etsy shop update today. As I write this only one natural dyed bamboo stone remains out of the 25 that I put in the shop today. I spent the evening packing everything up in very special ways. Thanks so much for your support! I can't wait to show you all some of this weeks experiments in the outdoor dyeing lab. The picture below of all the petals on the fabric was a bundle I was making to solar dye. It is titled "mother's day" and contains fallen petals from the wonderful flowers my family gave me and also magnolia petals from the tree in full bloom beside the porch. I will unwrap it in a few days.
I made another bundle of onion skin dyed silk with horsetails, muscari and lady's mantle. I am excited to see how it unfolds.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Such a lucky Friday the 13th it was for all your happy customers ! I guess they will now sit next to their mailbox to discover your marvellous package ...
That's a brilliant idea to use your Mother's Day flowers for dyeing ! There couldn't be loveliest way to immortalize this precious and ephemeral present.
Wish you a wonderful, colorful and relaxing week-end !
