Hand-painted silk yardage anyone?

Love, love, love creating this luscious yardage! When the weather is nice, I’m outside dyeing and felting. So inspiring being out in nature with all the great colors and textures. Can’t help but take my inspiration from it. Many are like Monets on silk! I’ve been offering my silks by the yard at New England Felting Supply and to my students when I teach. This stuff is so wonderful to felt on. I use it for my base in some of my scarves. I’m going to sew up some silk ponchos or wraps with it, too!

So I see these words:

“This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”

and I ask myself:

“Are those my only choices?”

It is really February 6, but I am editing this post from when we set up the software back in late Decemeber.
