I had such a lovely time last night - wonderful company and natural dyeing = awesome.we mainly focused on indigo dyeing and there were a few other pots of natural dye brewing. it's always nice to be around like-minded friends who share the enjoyment of each other's results and experiments. we will have to do it again really soon. thanks again julie for hosting it!
I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend - perhaps with your dad. I will secretly do a post on the weekend for john. he doesn't visit the blog often (so he might not notice) he isn't a fan of having his picture on the blog. some notes on the canada post strike - if all goes well they will be up and running by thursday - I can't begin to tell you how much stress it's put on me, but I must say I have the best customers who are so understanding.
have a wonderful weekend friends-thanks for visiting! xxa
oh my Arounna, what lovely photo, indigo blue is really something out of this world ! Thanks for sharing the photos i So glad you had such a nice time at the dyeing party ! Too bad I don't have a garden, or I'd be hosting a dyeing party every other day ! ahahah

Lovely indigo! I was looking around for a local green indigo class in SF but learned I had to be 50 to take it, darn! I will learn one day! I can't wait to see how the intense color shows up in your work.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous indigo blues! My favorite by far. Looking forward to seeing what you make with these beautiful textiles.
ReplyDeletelove love that first shot of the indigo vat - i am hoping to get my own started this weekend. looks like you guys had a wonderful evening and your dye results look great. that tall pitcher of ice tea looks pretty darn good too - ah, summer.
