Today...

 Color is changing and becoming bright. The sky is turning frequently from sun shine to stormy. 

I love that purple sky blue of coming storms against the yellow green of fall leaves,

 mulled cider and doughnuts, and that cozy crisp atmosphere that makes you want to craft. 

I love Autumn. 

I'm off to enjoy the end of this day with family, cool air, roasted apples, and a campfire.

Wool Dyeing #2

I have completed the (exciting) task of dyeing all my pure colors. I now have two yellows, four blues, and four reds, ready to be mixed together for an infinite amount of color possibilities!

The only color not pictured is Violet. I'm not sure where that one went. Anna cut into the violet long ago and used it to make this adorable little lady.

Here's a glimpse of our studio.

This Morning...

I tried a new photography technique called Free-lensing. You just detach the lens from your camera, tilt the lens until you get an area focused, and shoot (you'll need to manually set your shutter speed and f-stop first). I like how the focus turned out in this photo.

Wool Dyeing #1

Dyeing started when as a younger self I dyed wool in a microwave with Kool-Aid. While in high school I became more interested in dyeing and discovered a workshop taught by fiber dying expert Carol Soderlund. During her week long class I learned so much, more than I could have imagined. The other day I started dyeing again and I'm really enjoying it. During the class we created a huge book of colors and dye formulas. It's the most incredible dyers tool. I'm working on creating a second one for wool dyes. I love dyeing wool fabric. Sometimes I get more excited about the materials themselves than the potential project. :)
