Look what l have received, those Nun's are at it again, some dye experiments, and further work in the pipe line!

Before l talk about my Art, l want to show you a wonderful prize l won recently. Jacqueline whose blog is  Stitchworks-jackie.blogspot.com  sent me this beautiful bag.



Gorgeous isn't it? I use it to store my threads in. Thanks Jacqeline.x

The nuns have been at it again! Found more small brandy bottles outside the Covent!!Ha!! I have almost decided what l am going to use them for..but not yet ready to talk about it!





 This first two image are of canvas material bundled with Ecu leaves and Ragwort, all in a Ecu dye bath.


 This is a bundle of mixed Summer  flowers from a few bunches that were given to me. Dye is a blue Ecu leaf dye bath.

 The pattern on this vintage cotton bodice were made from large winged metal paper clips.







Really pleased with these results. At present l am doing some research on which Ecu leaf gives which colour. Proper research as they say...time to be grown up and start recording my results!!

  1. being a grown-up doesn't sound like fun. maybe the nun's have the right idea - wonder if they are ready to talk about it??

  3. I love all the patterns you've created on these fabrics. Some very intricate - I would sit and look at each one for a long time, trying to discover the picture inside.
