Hung out to dry, or freeze, whatever happens first. Getting ready for a big order, I had to dye and dry about 30 silk scarves when we were hit with a snow squall. That makes these scarves touched by a little extra bit of mother natures magic. Dyes used were indigo, turmeric, quebracho red and yellow, lac and logwood purple.

Seeing dots.
Lemon and tangerine sherbet like tones with an overlay of big polka dots. The sheer cotton blend was initially dyed with turmeric and then over dyed with an Osage Orange and cutch cocktail. I dipped a shot glass in the mixture with a drop of thickener to make the over-sized polka dots. The scarf measures a generous 70"x 50".

Down the Silk Road.
My first real experience dyeing silk was a huge success. Big, flowing, voluminous silk scarves to pack and go, wrap and blow. All dyed with all natural dyes from Earth Hues
. The lightest silk that looks better the more it is twisted and scrunched. Great for traveling... use as a scarf or a pareo on the beach.

These squirrels have multiplied!
Sets of place mats with napkins. Red and white Amy butler on one side, and the squirrels printed on red faux wood grain fabric from Anthology.
