Sold! I made a visit to @manormillmonkton today, and it was so satisfying to see the red sold dot next to my thread painting, Fox and Raven Meet at The Log. My Galapagos Iguana piece is still available, along with artwork by other local artists in the Knot Just Wood Exhibit. Thanks so much to the buyer and to Manor Mill Gallery!

I really love these rayon/silk velvet scarves from @dharmatradingco . They take natural dyes and botanical prints so beautifully. 💜🍁💛🍂

I added beads to the hem of this silk chiffon shawl printed with eucalyptus and oak leaves.

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by my booth yesterday at @belairartsfestival! I had a fantastic day sharing my love of eco printing. Here's a look at one of the scarves that I was unbundling at the event. It's a silk charmuese scarf printed with leaves and flowers from my garden, and dyed with a madder and oak gall dye blanket.

I used a dye I made from jewel weed found growing near my house as the background color for this silk charmuese scarf. The result is a really interesting golden color. I have read that jewel weed has medicinal properties, and that the dye it yields is quite color fast. The whole plant, not just the small flower, is used to make the dye. In the pot, the liquid has a beautiful apricot color. Have you had any experience using this plant?
