I have been experimenting with botanical extracts and I am completely hooked….I have already fabricated some wearables from these goods (images soon) and I feel so energized!

(Addendum 8.8.2013: My enthusiasm for these early encounters with natural dyes have been tempered slightly following the recent workshop at Arrowmont with Catharine Ellis but I feel no less energized!)

Thanks y’all – I am definitely doing the dance and it is feeling pretty juicy – don’t know what too me so long to start working with these colors – The “fullness of time” finally arrived!
