  2. The color of sun-bleached grass is my very favorite. Adding in the blue gray sky creates heaven.

  6. the fabric is wool, a quite fine wool muslin [available from www.beautifulsilks.com] and the sample was produced by a deeply delighted student
    no mordants were used in the process but due to the magic of eucalyptus it's entirely colourfast

  12. I'm new to your blog.

    My husband's family hails from Mansfield. The Redferns, O'Briens, the Cumminses. It's wonderful to see what you make from the land, so diffrent from my husband's ancestors who came there and ploughed the earth in Mansfiled in the late 1800's and early 1900s. It is truly wonderful country.
