 The dyeing to the left is what I did for wild night which is below.
I used slate Blue for the blue on the left and Turquoise, and  Teal and Nautical Blue Pro chem dyes for the handspun yarns, and the rainbow dyed fabric was done with Magenta, Basic Blue and Sun Yellow

Below is my exercise on doing a wild sky for the course.  We were to utilize various colors and textures in our wild sky.  I named mine BIG SKY NIGHT and it will be a 12 x 12" wall hanging when finished.  I utilized all the dyed pieces to the left in this as well as other colors.
I was unable to complete them during the class but when they are done I will post them here.  If this has not locked me out again.
 The photo above was  an exercise in doing squares and I decided that if I was going to do that I would make an table runner and  add some flowers for interest and it is 52 inches long; I will complete it at my leisure as I have scrappy thurms
 This next photo is of my main project which is about 16 x 20" and is being made as a wall hanging.  I call it the OLD MORRIS MILL.  It is a an abandoned old mill that is located in the Tobacco Root mountains about 30-40 miles from home.  The design was taken from a photo I took
Here is some of the dyeing I did for the above hooked project

Wild with Wool


 I just completed a 5 week on line course from Deanne Fitzpatrick called WILD WITH WOOL.  It was very enjoyable and I will show a few shots of various things as a result of that class. Shown are some of the exercises that she had us do
First there were the stars and then second  was a lesson on movement and waves,  That little blue photo is supposed to be a vertical of the ocean or as much as I could make on a  6 x 6" piece.  Sorry it is horizontal but I do not know how to right it in this program. 

Hello again,
I haven't been here because Goggle has made it way difficult and I could not even get into it.  Finally with the help  of my husbands persistence and diligence I am back here at  least for now; there is a lot that is different about the site any more and I will a have to get used to it.    If this works I will be back and it it gets all screwed up again I have not got the patience to tackle it.
