I’ve been doing some more dried plant dyeing without mordants and with mixed results. Also taking 15-20 minutes each eve to do some basic embroidery stitching on small pieces of fabric. At some point I will put them all together in a wall-hanging. Maybe.

Thanks, Zed and Ann. I used only the dried hibiscus flowers for dyeing.

Well, I finally finished my e-book about embellishment fibres, so hopefully I can get my hands wet and do some felting this week.

My daily dose would be making more flowers for samples for the class on Wednesday. and feeding lambs, that's sort of fiber related.

No I haven't done one yet. I just took a few that I put in the blag post earlier this week. Do you think flowers might make a good class? or maybe a kit?

I had someone else ask to be in the "flower" class.
