Just finished writing a new workshop for embossing on velvet for the <a href="http://www.thethreadstudio.com.au/" target="_blank">Thread Studio's</a> online magazine.<br />
Tried a few new things. This technique never gets old for me, it always looks good. Who doesn't love velvet?<br />

I used <b><a href="http://kraftkolour.net.au/" target="_blank">KraftKolour</a></b> Landscape dyes for this one. Pacific, Saltmarsh, Tasman, Wheat and Mallee. All full strength. If you buy Saltmarsh, make sure you stir it and stir it, all the while cackling like one of McBeth's witches. It takes a while to dissolve properly but it's a divine pale green.<br />

She passed VCE and got into Creative Writing at Deakin University so is currently earning her non alcohlic drinking money by dyeing merino and slushie for Dale in the freezing cold shed during a Victorian winter. No heating! OH MY GOODNESS, this is what Mum has been doing for the last 8 years to earn my school fees sympathised Brianna? oh wait, sorry, that was a dream, really it went more like this...."OMG DUDE, Wheres the heater, air conditioner, mini bar, cleaner, lunch, helper, what do you mean I should start before lunch, what about my sleep in"? Thank God Brianna doesn't subscribe to the blog....</td></tr>

Thanks for the comments which I am passing along to Frank, Blair, Tarin and Perry. As soon as arrangements are made, I will post here. I know there are many more people around Australia who will keenly feel the loss and miss Rae's company and "awesomeness" ( eldest daughter' s description) Apt description I think. I couldn't find a better word.<br />

My friend and partner Rae is in the final stages of lung cancer. It has been a tough battle since diagnosis a few short months ago. The illness has been rapid and aggressive leaving Rae little time to let people from the textile world know. She is been cared for at Warringal Private Hospital, Melbourne but anyone who wishes to send cards can do so via Warringal or my address. Po Box 277, Warrandyte, Melbourne.3113.<br />
I will update this blog as her condition as needed.<br />
Rae's husband Frank, and children Perry and Blair are with her daily, Tarin is coming back from a working holiday in Canada. Rae is receiving wonderful care from her oncologist Dr White and the nursing staff at the hospital. She is been kept comfortable at all times and although sad, she is, of course, taking it with her characteric fortitude and resilience.<br />
I'm guessing that this post probably explains my lack of previous posts for the last few months, Rae was always the engine behind our partnership not to mention my closest friend and surrogate nan to my girls.<br />
I know for sure Rae would encourage all of her friends and acquaintances to make the most of now, as she has, don't wait for sometime in the future to live the dream. Take the trip, go out for lunch, make that call, make time for those you love, be supportive and encouraging to your friends and family and answer the question "should I" with HELL YES!<br />

This is the minesweeper my grandfather Stuart Ganley served on during the second world war. Minesweepers needed a wooden hull so they wouldn't set the mines off that bobbed around just under the surface. Their job was to keep the sea lanes open and free of mines so troop transports, aid and the injured could be ferried back and forth between ports. HMAS Beryl doesn't look like it could withstand a summer swell- but it did, bringing Pa back home to his family in one piece at wars end.</p>Spiral Dyed Downunderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511564510190266568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089092573137410821.post-827953979725578312012-03-04T17:18:00.003-08:002012-03-04T17:48:44.421-08:00And finally!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmm6XiUy5Aocd7Rs6iIZA_EEdmbE-MGP9cU-8xZISWZa1S_MTVk8gg166aR2N1XVknSHFOfezfpAoyroRung_G46WDrOQxcWuIvhtDo7NykDRpTwkChCfuRrD4rnu0imbINiXFQnIYgPQ/s1600/Marrakesh_spices.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmm6XiUy5Aocd7Rs6iIZA_EEdmbE-MGP9cU-8xZISWZa1S_MTVk8gg166aR2N1XVknSHFOfezfpAoyroRung_G46WDrOQxcWuIvhtDo7NykDRpTwkChCfuRrD4rnu0imbINiXFQnIYgPQ/s320/Marrakesh_spices.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716223985230844002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGVXdO_qykEjENiNpnvs85NGgZV0Ibeie3UFVMQoO0RffgQXXMO4xDKCy_aCmmxQPD0XiR8YCwersDGxv65u63pm2Hpkn6-SOc8FSGdSGBcKBQ2M42rEn_QZ5RU2GxiNBgnjon4aV-ru8/s1600/rods2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGVXdO_qykEjENiNpnvs85NGgZV0Ibeie3UFVMQoO0RffgQXXMO4xDKCy_aCmmxQPD0XiR8YCwersDGxv65u63pm2Hpkn6-SOc8FSGdSGBcKBQ2M42rEn_QZ5RU2GxiNBgnjon4aV-ru8/s320/rods2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716218805472196002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTSpeHuppj48z6tG_MJEPdzlwb7ZHThnO6aJ9bAMgFR9hyphenhyphenD66VzM7Ed8m8354-g_Abx1_RGwfmQDfGngfvNeVw7akYRjLm8yZnzEBtQZCUFqIoj0uek28mBEGMSrocySbBGI-h8m46KlU/s1600/rods1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTSpeHuppj48z6tG_MJEPdzlwb7ZHThnO6aJ9bAMgFR9hyphenhyphenD66VzM7Ed8m8354-g_Abx1_RGwfmQDfGngfvNeVw7akYRjLm8yZnzEBtQZCUFqIoj0uek28mBEGMSrocySbBGI-h8m46KlU/s320/rods1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716218799309235426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXJ1208XrVpATXy5UslRYEpSf8DtihwGUyMx-fFY8Cys9YOPwlcz1M-ob5KKrMCWPfBhOIVQExZrpUEPrehBxSFYsnqCOx_Ec-tgrAg9X14Ak51dkrHyYjrzeZMWln4ixWLQW4a09cqHs/s1600/cocoons1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXJ1208XrVpATXy5UslRYEpSf8DtihwGUyMx-fFY8Cys9YOPwlcz1M-ob5KKrMCWPfBhOIVQExZrpUEPrehBxSFYsnqCOx_Ec-tgrAg9X14Ak51dkrHyYjrzeZMWln4ixWLQW4a09cqHs/s320/cocoons1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716218790259362082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWI0Iy8F0MkA79grhrE9HydD0Sf5kkn5RaJVtt9D-0gO6PQLu4C5BV63SZU0dppZ_NXHgvl8TaDRMzCj2u0ZQ5wM81lLxqZwtAi1rtqCGLCBy0mv2PrfsXXP739o6bLKS83ncoZ8hxcQ/s1600/ar2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWI0Iy8F0MkA79grhrE9HydD0Sf5kkn5RaJVtt9D-0gO6PQLu4C5BV63SZU0dppZ_NXHgvl8TaDRMzCj2u0ZQ5wM81lLxqZwtAi1rtqCGLCBy0mv2PrfsXXP739o6bLKS83ncoZ8hxcQ/s320/ar2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716218786710253090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaxW1Pfe8fLYFwifvQdvuR4JvFtNfIMbzGVyf5KPbI1Mh1RRG6IHdLXA8E8MKTjiUiien1EB8h9Jih844luqBZd-K6IEfdIyj5BZphadhlk1nphUSYkFtE2cYmN8_mwnDAp4EkbG-ffo/s1600/a1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaxW1Pfe8fLYFwifvQdvuR4JvFtNfIMbzGVyf5KPbI1Mh1RRG6IHdLXA8E8MKTjiUiien1EB8h9Jih844luqBZd-K6IEfdIyj5BZphadhlk1nphUSYkFtE2cYmN8_mwnDAp4EkbG-ffo/s320/a1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716218781541045666" border="0" /></a><br />Arriving today via the post to The Thread Studio, Dale's new colourway Marrakesh.

She wanted to make something for her birthday so we came up with this. I dyed the silk ciffon scarf with KraftKolour's citrus colour and gave it to Brianna to put rubber bands up and down the length of it to create 'resist' areas. Once that was done, I overdyed it in Wild Raspberry to create the delicious dark fushia colour. Bri says Celeste loved it. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99LZHOf016im97-NfSdoSO-ullR9E2xXdIyeDLt0z4OEfvyc64LLnavih1r2nSusb12cIdM-IwyGfEFeNVrBIGKUPMqVF0AIYuwu9ATAmOvqEqqIRvPYgp7wnOuPM2LJXXbZG6N6kiWE/s1600/shib1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99LZHOf016im97-NfSdoSO-ullR9E2xXdIyeDLt0z4OEfvyc64LLnavih1r2nSusb12cIdM-IwyGfEFeNVrBIGKUPMqVF0AIYuwu9ATAmOvqEqqIRvPYgp7wnOuPM2LJXXbZG6N6kiWE/s320/shib1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713692285152405090" border="0" /></a><br />What else have I been up to? Well, Rae is at Halls Gap selling our wares at the annual textile event and so I have been cooking up clothes with the silver leafed eucalyptus we have in Warrandyte.

My old computer has passed on- kicked the bucket, dropped it's bundle, choked, deceased, crossed over and generally died. it's difficult for a computer savvy person like me to blog without it. I have to wait for other family members to leave their computers unatttended. AND THEY DON'T! Anyway, to proove I have not given up blogging, i took photos in the hope someone would allow me to mishandle their computer.Spiral Dyed Downunderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511564510190266568noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089092573137410821.post-29161272807609764142011-07-01T20:45:00.000-07:002011-07-01T21:12:09.943-07:00Ranunkulus<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBgzDrSDKOCz6nYkQjLr1N2grYzJy9zT8r_P_0kIWlq1OwOEi3-eJY4t_MUaPS5yhxylzspevQTzJ2f64AVFWndCX6BeToqohwEm_N5XV8lxE7oznJgL81Jdd_v8SC-ZOH9h6eBwpcrk/s1600/ranukula1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBgzDrSDKOCz6nYkQjLr1N2grYzJy9zT8r_P_0kIWlq1OwOEi3-eJY4t_MUaPS5yhxylzspevQTzJ2f64AVFWndCX6BeToqohwEm_N5XV8lxE7oznJgL81Jdd_v8SC-ZOH9h6eBwpcrk/s320/ranukula1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624601744866237330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4c7yoedgW3SExDSC1zsMqpxqbL5dqoxwD4ERMVAfVOJtF-KeO66arxKuA6O7jioWrQgjy2YGJuHOKS5TbCKvvF97-ZM8tVGd19AJ0pjg7hRXPkcNxbZWmGk8lcXNeQ8wsmRbmUOzwX5A/s1600/ran+blog.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4c7yoedgW3SExDSC1zsMqpxqbL5dqoxwD4ERMVAfVOJtF-KeO66arxKuA6O7jioWrQgjy2YGJuHOKS5TbCKvvF97-ZM8tVGd19AJ0pjg7hRXPkcNxbZWmGk8lcXNeQ8wsmRbmUOzwX5A/s320/ran+blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624601738253470642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmC_mj_06e0TQ4GMpqEjKo9nZzNEk3Henuy7bU2BNqXFMgRCQbW6ppW-xhSUQHYQWoHlLsCVH-ksm-Xu44R0LD5MQ2AZEnnfpHkUMaHJukKHFRvDrI6NXtD4-FodFDu6WruRNhx4lI14I/s1600/marshmallow.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmC_mj_06e0TQ4GMpqEjKo9nZzNEk3Henuy7bU2BNqXFMgRCQbW6ppW-xhSUQHYQWoHlLsCVH-ksm-Xu44R0LD5MQ2AZEnnfpHkUMaHJukKHFRvDrI6NXtD4-FodFDu6WruRNhx4lI14I/s320/marshmallow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624601737287519330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpdC73fy77pWloPOYGYE2PJ6agJBSmmCcsDk7dtAN3houeql2S7TEi4YDUUDFyNrYoFZ4DgPRUj-mX-smQJLQKIt0DBKZ-0G8gxb_r136FPFkFfsP-tSOiegOuRR1sXS68y4WH7F8R_UU/s1600/floral2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpdC73fy77pWloPOYGYE2PJ6agJBSmmCcsDk7dtAN3houeql2S7TEi4YDUUDFyNrYoFZ4DgPRUj-mX-smQJLQKIt0DBKZ-0G8gxb_r136FPFkFfsP-tSOiegOuRR1sXS68y4WH7F8R_UU/s320/floral2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624601733633743954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Lji9FpCWUV3WLq9WUttJIoWAJclIzgD39zVwEiQE2YfPUGPE8vxOx8ljAY9Nh7V5H86zWVfg7l4omneqCneSrUJVwTiwgCm4A97cSOsDBuATlqOUhDhO2E3K0K6SEqyHCwX8spohZH4/s1600/duck+egg4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Lji9FpCWUV3WLq9WUttJIoWAJclIzgD39zVwEiQE2YfPUGPE8vxOx8ljAY9Nh7V5H86zWVfg7l4omneqCneSrUJVwTiwgCm4A97cSOsDBuATlqOUhDhO2E3K0K6SEqyHCwX8spohZH4/s320/duck+egg4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624601727126002050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9FacAiQEav8ZmEXwwCICPP0-0EfoLecwSFs8IplngVEyOS_DpQOEW3sGiVBwvpzAiXwPIAzlAIH55qreXkWZbCV-5ooS37ng2jdDrZgj7dFwNHNj6xPy9Oi_a7wJb5IB2ZTQK4O8zdpc/s1600/ranukula3.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYOBHHN15Y7zbGPofrUileAOINjjQhNZuiG32y2_G1ghT8WFRksFld-JsJWQSGIo3NQXIMle8iTo7mb-MNKzlmwKpKDv9alxvRlP40YRWKIZqDFPQTHsvar1TlK8COZXSyUrlbGEF_UnU/s1600/duck+egg4.jpg"><br /></a><br />How could I not dye this!

She had such beautiful, thick hair. I am hoping to dye the Ranuckulas in a colourway so hopefully I can get a photo up of my interpretation.</p>Spiral Dyed Downunderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511564510190266568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089092573137410821.post-33747117369437938072011-06-13T23:59:00.001-07:002011-06-14T00:11:00.749-07:00Some of my favorite things...<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiraldyeddownunder/5831369301/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3001/5831369301_fda337db11.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 369px; height: 369px;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0.8em;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiraldyeddownunder/5831369301/">Some of my favorite things...</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiraldyeddownunder/">jacintaleishman</a>.</span></div><p><br /><br />1. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/novembermoon/3992200069/in/photostream/">oval brooches</a>, 2. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/novembergirl/3303666911/in/photostream/">tiny houses painted</a>, 3. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/heinz-fischer/3209872059/in/photostream">19-01-2009</a>, 4. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mystyleange/2903007913/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">Untitled</a>, 5. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltedpleasure/5693923008/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">Nuno Felted Scarf Wrap</a>, 6. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/97968921@N00/5051671578/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">Mosque' door and arche</a>, 7. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gerdiary/3512820880/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">Paperweights</a>, 8. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilfishstudios/5257775602/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">poinsettia brooch </a>, 9. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/m_pod/5422983259/in/faves-spiraldyeddownunder/">Magnolia</a><br />Back from Brisbane but not quite back to work.
