So I went to a Silk Painting with Natural Dye Extract at Hands on Craft with Linda Hartshorn.

I do alot of dyeing, with acid dyes, painting and Immersion. I haven't done alot of natural dyeing except some mushrooms and lichens. So it is refreshing ot see a new view og thigns.

We used fustic, Brazilwood, Logwood, Cochineal, Madder and Indigo.

Linda Brought in some of her samples that she has woven. I for got to take a picture of the pleated one



It was fun Velma was there and Kristy



Then there were mine. We have to wait for a month then wash them. But I might steam mine

Hands on Craft- Arcata, CA

So I went to the Opening of Hands On Craft. “hands on CRAFT is a center for manual arts located in Arcata, California. Our mission is to further traditional craft through education, special events, and materials supply.”

Paper and books. Textiles and fiber. Jewelry and Printmaking.

This place is cool it provides an area to work on crafts and buy the supplies. I was in awe when I walked into the first part and was in love with all the yarn and fiber they sell wheels and carders.
