For those of you who come to my blog to see what I’m creating, during early garden season my art takes a back seat. However, once the weather heats up, I’ll be back inside playing.

It rained the other day which gave me an opportunity to play inside. I’ve had this piece of fabric from a dyeing class I took years ago. It was so much fun to dye! I really love it but have trouble using it in a big project. However, I thought it would be great for…

Two years ago I posted about printing with collard greens on this post. I’m revisiting this printing because I’ll be teaching at a kids’ summer camp, and wanted to get in some practice.
