COAST

A new colour way to keep me interested. I used KraftKolour 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.

A Goat?

Nadine brought over another character to visit. I'm not joking, the eyes follow you where ever you move to. A sleeve from an old jumper is her dress, dyed doily for her cape, very old blanketing dyed for arms, legs and ears. If she was my Gran, I would definitely wash behind my ears when told.

The Keys to the Castle.

I've been given the keys to the castle! No, not really. Dale let me change some things on her Embellish blog. So I did! Hope you like it.
Oh, and I paid $2 for this coat which is cashmere and wool. Into the dye bath with it tomorrow.

Finishing off day

Verdigris for Dale.


Chicken finally finished, unlikely to lay anything edible.


I enjoyed using lime velvet dyed by Rae to embellish the chook.


Just working it out, this was a hand dyed blanket offcut.

As promised, the chicken is done! Just realized, making soft toys is my least favorite sewing thing.
Mixed into finishing this chicken was a quick dyeing job for Dale from The Thread Studio. This is her new commissioned colour from me called Verdigris. I think I have had four goes at getting this one right, and I am still not sure. There were so many possibilities. Anyway, it's dry and about to go out in the mail.
