windfalls and whimsies







after teaching in Canberra for the weekend i trekked still further north ... in order to dye a wedding dress using windfalls gathered in the wild by a magical river. no images of the dress available though, it's top secret for some time yet...

on the other hand i have an abundance or river images ... something we've a lack of here in South Australia!

  4. Thanks for the comment on my blog India. I'm really enjoying the journey of dying fabric naturally. Can't wait to experiment with eucalyptus leaves when I return back to Melbourne, Australia next March/April.

  7. Wow, to see water in a river, how unusual this is. So dusty here, can only imagine this. Thanks for the beautiful photos. The wedding dress sounds delightful.

  10. After rereading your blog I realized you were doing something with the actual windfall and not pictures of rivers at all. Which is a good thing as my computer was stolen, along with a few other things, but all of my pictures (rivers and otherwise) are now gone forever. A chance to start afresh? Yes, I'll look at it that way. Good luck with the windfallwedding dress. Gilli wintergreen.3@hotmail.com
