as a respite from my own one of the things I've done has been to peek into India's whirledand so as a result took a look outside
at the last possible minute before they all blew off and away, I was inspired to gather
a few leaves from the ground and around
added the leaves . . . maple, Japanese maple, oak, serviceberry, for example, and some avocado peelings . . . to pots with bits of cotton, silk, doilies, some bundled, some not
and so have some slightly altered fiber pieces in a natural dye sort of way but nothing spectacular and no prints. nevertheless a good diversion
You have a delicious soup of dyes...lovely softness captured to be stitched this winter's cold evenings. Blessings to you friend, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
The warm colors in this post are reaching through the computer, so wonderful. You've been in my thoughts and I really hope you're as happy as can be. : )
I think it is great that you were willing to experiment and try new things.. it will all only get better and better.. nothing lost nothing gained.. live the moments.
lovely photos; one foot in front of the other and you can walk a mile. or a few steps; it's all the same, more or less, isn't it? you're in my prayers.
Your dye experiment was an awesome attempt. Just gathering all of the leaves would be fun--all those beautiful colors and shapes. I've had to do the pieces I've tried to dye more than once to get anything remotely interesting.

I like the subtlety of the fabric. Still sending positive thoughts, prayers and gentle hugs.

Have been missing you and your work, hope things are going well. Stay strong and well!
Yes, but it is good to experiment and try and see what would happen.. and have fun.. and try again.
Wanted to send along some wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
