June morning
June morning
It's so fine to step outside barefoot,without a sweater, and get started right away. On most mornings,this means just wandering around in wonder and amazement.for awhile.
The backyard is not big, but the cherry tree doesn't seem to mind.
The blackbirds and squirrels .are ready to pounce!
A clothesline fiull of projects
Silk organza after soaking overnight in alum water
Another piece of organza dyed with indigo
Vintage linen napkins
These damasck napkins are part of a group very special family heirlooms. I was asked to dye them with indigo. I'm honored, (and a little nervous),to work on them.
Raw fleece nearly dry after washing yesterday afternoon. I left it outdoors overnight to keep drying.
Young Japanese indigo plants
Clematis blooms newly opened this morning
