how lovely to see these fragile-looking cloths lined up next to each other. are these the bundles you wrapped and tucked away in the wake of your mother's death?
No they aren't yet. I still haven't touched those - it is now 8 years since she passed and the bundle with her clothes, linen, lead weights, etc are still out there through the seasons. These fabrics are some of the first I did with plant dyes. I was learning, and just used small pieces of silk, linen, cotton. These are dyed with apple bark, choke cherry, golden rod and some other experiments. x
