There are many reasons why people come to look at another person's blog. Some come out of curiousity; some come for encouragement or information. Some people are just flat out bored and looking for a way to kill some time. Some people come to chat or share inspired moments. Why did you come here today? What would you like to talk about or see on this blog that's not already here? Give me a topic and we'll go from there. It's getting pretty quiet out here in cyberspace.

Hi, Marjie: I've been visiting your blog because:
1) I heard you had done a video about dissolving the evil fuchsia, and was very impressed with how much of your expertise you are willing to share;
2) You live in California and post lovely photos--my husband and I visited CA last year and loved it. We have 3 feet of snow on the ground here;
3) I have high hopes that you will show us more of your beautiful hand-dyed fabric.
Hello, Marjie- I too found your blog because of the video on dissolving the evil fuschia. I took your Shibori class at QU a year or so ago, and even disputed your description of fuschia as evil. I have now seen the light, or more accurately, all the red dye pops that make me crazy!!
And, you were so entertaining in the class I figured your blog had to be fun too. So I hope you keep posting about your gorgeous hand dyes, and anything else you find interesting. I'll be back- I've got you bookmarked now!
Marjie, I visit your blog every day just so I can kept up with what you are up too as I miss you as a friend and teacher..We did have some good old times in classe..you are so knowledgeable and at the same time funny, what more can I say!!
Your blog is interesting. Reason I stated my blog was for my family and friends and it turned out to be more than that..it is for all. I get asked for help in some of the ventures that I take in my mixed media that I do..but mostly for my family and friends..I do love blogging..So hear we are talking..love and hugs, Lorraine
Hey marjie -- I'm here (but I somehow manage to mess up the signing in part to post). glad to see you're up and running around and relaxing. I come because I love hanging out with you. I sit with my java and catch up on what's new, what's happening.
I do have a question, can I toss some sea salt onto a silk scarf that I'm dyeing without too much difficulty, or will I end up with a lacework pattern I hadn't anticipated?

Hi, Marjie: I've been visiting your blog because I love your way of teaching and sharing. Also, I really like your wonderful sense of humor. It matches mine. I'm totally irreverent at times and always giggling at something.

Marjie,
i drop in every day to see what the Empress is up to.
I miss the dyeing classes and your fabulous sense of humour; love the excitement of dyeing and...your fabulous sense of humour.
I'd like to see more of what you are dyeing and glean any pearls of wisdom; about dyeing,about life, about what phase the moon is in, about what IS the meaning of life (only kidding!!)
I like to drop in and see that one of my favourite people is OK and enjoying her part of the world.
Hi Dawn! Thank you for your lovely comments. I will have more things to see here on the blog after Christmas and all the hoopla that goes along with that. Stay warm!
Beverley!! Glad the video helped! Lorraine!! Lee!! If you don't want the salt to make lacey patterns, dissolve it well and don't let it sit too long on the silk. Jillo! hahahhaha. Anna! I've very okay. Thank you so much for checking in with me and the rest of us. I'll talk to you all in the next posting with pics.
Hi Marjie - came across your blog via Myrna's - met you in Myrna's SE class and took som dyeing classes with you. Always like looking at hints and tips on dyeing but really enjoy blogs that are informative, witty and mix art and day-to-day life, so I keep coming back to yours. And I too found the evil fuchsia video useful!
Thank you, Sandra. Glad you found it helpful. The next class I am teaching at QU has a lot of tips and recipes using fuchsia and the evil blacks that are out there so that should help too. I am planning on using this blog to help with the really hard parts that make the students pull their hair out and whine about their results. Sometimes people have to SEE the process rather than just read about it. I for one am a visual learned and wonder how my students can "do" QU classes. I have taken 2 myself and have had times where I had to read the instructions about 10 times OUT LOUD to myself before the light went on...OR... I just try it the way I think it is supposed to go and if it works then whoopty do...if it doesn't then ask...if I still don't get it I walk away; come back later and read it out loud and hope something clicks.
How did I miss this? I had the QU newsletter and surfed through to the student discussion message board and found your blog. It is great and thank you for sharing the tip on smashing those fuschia gritty bits on video with us.
Can't wait for the QP course which I signed up for on the very fist day of registration. I have warned my DH that I will be extremely busy after the 12th.
Pity I forgot to order the dyes but hopefully they will come down in good time.
I did eventually found the alum to do a tea-staining. I found that course so useful because I had a quick project to do that required a beige fabric but there was none to be found on the island I liked so I teastained a white one. I looked up the course and thanks to you I could produce what was required.
Love your blog!

Maureen!Hi! So glad tea came in handy for something other than just drinking. Great! See you in class.
Hi Marjie,
I read your blog for a number of reasons. I was in your fabric painting, gutta resist on silk, cotton dyeing basics and tea stain dyeing classes this past summer and fall (via QU). I love your teaching style - informative and also very witty! I have greatly enjoyed each class I've taken with you. You are very patient when answering questions. And, you are very talented as well as eager to share your knowledge. You are also very intelligent and fun.
I read your blog because I think you are an interesting person and also because I like you! I also read it to find out more about creating hand dyed fabrics, and your processes.
I hope you continue to blog. I also hope you are recovering well. You look great in that kayak! I don't remember if I mentioned this, but in 2001 I treated myself to a week of hiking and kayaking at a place called Moutain Trek, in British Columbia, Canada. It's like a fitness retreat. The treat was my reward to myself for finishing a masters degree in Information Management. It was the first time I had ever kayaked, and it was great fun!
Keep blogging...
