Amazingly enough, I am cleaning the dye studio. I am sorting yard sale stuff into one huge pile, stuff to be put away into another. I have all the silk bolts back on the shelves. Half of the area is in order. The other half looks like an overturned big rig just took a steep turn a bit too fast. Can't even get into the dye mixing room.
Upcoming events: California Fiber Artists show at the Chico Art Center this Saturday from 7-9 p.m. Pictures to follow.
More loads of bricks moved from Bartlett Avenue to my house.
More digging of the extension to the back yard patio.
Silk dyed for a wedding dress.
More silk dyeing for another anonymous customer on the east coast.
Writing and testing the projects for the new QU class "Dyeing Wool". Original name, eh?
I killed 42 flies this morning in the back yard. Can you believe it?
Okay then. No pictures this week but will show you stuff next week. Until then- who is dyeing and what projects do you have in the mix?

I am!
Did some shibori, some plain scrunch the fabric in the dye bath and see the fantastic results, and then work over with a bleach pen.... what for, just for the fun of it-)
Lovely! That's a very satisfying way to spend a day, yes?
