Felt Like It

Cape Breton Island's first commercial dye plant harvest (all organic) coming to a super fun, one day workshop in October at the Inverness County Centre for the ...Arts! This is part of an exhibit opening at the centre next week that runs until the end of Celtic Colours International Festival - the World Wide Weave, a global natural dye collaboration.

I guess a little Crash Test Dummies "Peter Pumpkinhead" was running through my mind. Alas, my own pumpkins will not likely see the season out (still blossoming??) So here is a pumpkin head.

I have gotten some fleece from this part of the world. Coarse, warm and durable.

this was washed with soap nuts and borax. It was coated with field dirt and had some straw that needed picking.

Phase Two: another clump of fleece, I am using soap nuts and borax with numerous rinses. Drained and now I am washing it with waste organic soap and borax. This stuff is dirty. Fine vegetable matter, its going to take some work.
