Photo of the Day


Had a great weekend . Playing around with my
Iphone . I have been taking a photo a day with 
my Iphone . I am now experimenting with different
apps so it does not become to boring . I am only 29 
days into this and I do not know how I will go 366 days .
It is just another test for myself .
Looking forward to a great week .

This is a cloth I am working on for my magic quilt .
I love how this iphone app made a face in the center .
I guess this is what makes it magic.
Have a great weekend everyone .

Indigo Weekend


I spent the weekend with Glennis Dolce ( Shibori Girl ) learning
about indigo dyeing and shibori . It was a wonderful class and if
you ever have a chance to take a class with her , do it !  she is a
wealth of knowledge and very generous . I learned just enough 
to know I wanted to take her online class .

The class was held at the Japanese American Museum 
in Little Tokyo . So it was fun to walk around and take 
some photos.

Seems to early for spring .



A crazy bike store ...it was full of people .

A lunch trailer , too bad I had already eaten .



I met some friends for dinner on 5th and main.
Nickle Dinner was a cool place and good food . 
Breakfast seemed like it would be extra good .

Two more ladies

It was a great weekend . I can't wait to get my
indigo pot going . My head is filled with all kinds of ideas .
I hope everyone has a great week .

More Journal to Fabric Work

  I worked on the idea of the moon first .
I then worked on the fabric . I am happy
how this worked out . I like this idea of recording a idea and then translating it
to fabric . Since it seems ideas can
disappear out of my brain pretty easily
these days , I like this idea of making myself work them out on paper . Since this is a on going process I am able to go back and look at old ideas that i forgot about . I have even added photos to this journal .
more to come....

Fabric Patterns


This is the pattern that I came up with from
 my watercolor in my journal . I used natural
 linen , indigo blue , green linen & walnut dyed linen .


I dyed this fabric with walnut hulls .

This is a moon that needs a face . the moon 
is dyed with coreopsis . the background
is a piece of indigo fabric .
I am starting to get a flow going for my 
Magic cloth . It really is a slow process .
more to come ...
