Fabric drying in the sun, and a sprinkling of chickensAbove: natural fabric dyeing class with Rebecca Burgess.

I just found out that Rebecca's new book, Harvesting Color, will be out May 1st. Also, there will be a Fibershed (grown and sewn close to home) fashion show debuting Rebecca's new sustainable clothing line on the same day in Point Reyes Station. Good things moving in a good direction - hooray.

All gardens should be like that...and the natural colours are brilliant

Love your wellies Janis! What do you call them.... they're a symbol of good things...!
Enjoying your fabric experiments... as you say... a great direction indeed... will look out for 'Harvesting colour'.
Good gardening!

I know, I've been coveting that book already, since you first told me about RB and her work. How did your experiment with oak galls go? Ciao!
Sophie - yes, I call them wellies ! and I haven't had a pair since I was three. Thought it was about time I get me some ;^)
Francesca - the experiment went very well... Amazing how we can make use of plant matter growing right outside our door. Perhaps a future post on this
Watching your garden, I become a child again and I can hear hens and try to have their eggs. The vellies make me think to the little flags made by prayers, in Tibet...
Lovely world ;)
Hooray for the good things and the good direction!
Beautiful colors and project, I'd love to learn about fabric dyeing and am inspired by your direction!

Janis your new banner is wonderful...have fun with your new project.
ciao bella : )
I wish we could have chickens where we lived. I think it would be so much fun for the children.
Un petit bonjour pour toi :)
I love your new header ... and no parcel in the letter box, I will keep you informed
a coffee berry would be a berry, or a coffee bean? mhm, i'm puzzled...
lovely soft pastels, do they dry really pale?

your header is so lovely.
Have a good weekend!
