Finally back to doing the FFFC challenge. I had fun with the October one. Our project was to create a Haiku and put it to cloth. Here is my Haiku:
seed pods billowing
the dandelion releases
its glaze of yellow
This blog will be a journey through my quiltwork and some artwork and my life...sometimes the muse' is not active but I'll try I was a gourd artist until my hands gave out, now I thoroughly enjoy playing with fabric and paint. Enjoy most everything that nature has to offer. Family and friends are very important. I live in the beautiful Peace River Area of northeastern BC.

Snow Dye
We have lot's of snow so decided to try Beth's method for snow dyeing. Here is her tutorial:

I can probably tell you what not to do after my first try, don't take it out of the snow bath too soon. I was over anxious and took it out way too soon, that is why there is little color.
I'm pleased with my first results, they will make nice backgrounds for wallhangings. However I am really looking forward to the next batch.
I've got two more on the go and will leave them long enough to become saturated with color. And I used Dharma pigments...just using what I have on hand :)
Thanks for the inspiration Beth.
I think the first one looks like a jelly fish with a huge clam shell in the corner, and I can see some trees in the second one. What do you see? Let me know. Thanks for taking a look.
A friend just drew my attention to the face on the left hand corner of the first piece!
