New Silk Scarves

The studio was awash in Procion this past week as I dyed a new batch of scarves for my booth at our local Octoberfest Art Share October 23. 

I was using beach rocks bound with artificial sinew from Dharma Trading Company.


At lunch the sun broke through for a walk on the docks by my studio.

 After work, another walk with Flossy.


Blind River Rapids trail ends with a beautiful view of Crystal Mountain.

 The foliage in the muskeg alongside the boardwalk is really turning colors.  I was struck by the contrast on this lichen-covered stump.

Have a creative Monday!

  2. Great photos, Susan, and the silks look wonderful. Tip: if you crochet or knit, then use crochet cotton for wrapping and tying shibori...then you've got wonderful already-dyed thread to work up into something else!
