Season

Rather than doing a post about my own work, I have one of other someone else's.

We've had some cold weather lately, making it look rather snowy:


When we'd rather be looking at a flower called Glory of Snow:


Mary's photos are of flowers she grows herself. I love the colors and the technique. And I'll have to find out how she deters the squirrels and rabbits so well.

Mmmm, cake

I have to share this item. Lemon poppy soap. I make lemon poppy muffins now and again and this does smell just like it. Not just a lemon scent, but vanilla and cake scent also. Makes me want to make some.

Look at me!

Well, what else do you do for your first blog post? I tend to be rather minimalist in my writing, but I’ll try to make sure I fill you in. Wouldn’t want you to have to guess what the heck I’m talking about.

This blog is for my crafting, specifically fabric dyeing. I’ve been doing various fiber/textile crafts for many years. Since we’ve gotten most of the home remodeled I have more time for fun. The last couple years I’ve been doing fabric and garment dyeing. After a while, you and your family have enough shirts, I decided I would make a go at selling dyed items. Well, that or making more friends and getting more family.

Of course, I’d love it if you went to my Etsy store, looked around and let me know what you think. Would you be surprised to know I am there as BaronessColor also?

The pictures are of a couple shirts I recently dyed. Do you like the rinsing screen I made for my laundry sink?
The shirts were sewn using the Mokume Shibori technique then dyed. I love the pattern this produces. Now, if I could just get faster at sewing things up.
The blue one has some speckles from the dye not disolving properly. I think it looks cool, but I'm not sure others would. So this is a gift for a friend's teenage son.
The orange one isn't nearly that strongly colored now that it has been washed.

Thanks for visiting.
