Dying to Dye



Look who I've been spending the last few days with! This is Carol Soderlund, dyer and teacher extraordinaire. I simply can't rave about her enough, so I won't try.

We are working straight out, dyeing and learning and having a great time. I come home each night and pretty much fall into bed, dreaming of colors.

And look what we did in the first two days!



Yep, this is just PART of a stack the whole group dyed in teams.

Here's another shot of some sorting going on.



Tomorrow's the last day and today was a very full one...so I am off to bed to rest up! More soon.

But if you ever, ever, ever get the chance to take a class from Carol, RUN and sign up. She's amazing.

  7. Hi Diane,
    I just did some dying/dyeing myself! It's sooo much fun. Check out pix on my blog. I did it this time with my 6 year old son. Kids love dyeing too. It's a great family activity as long as you don't mind green kids.

    You posted on my blog a while back about the book I wrote, Thank You for Giraffes. I wanted to let you know that it is available on amazon.com now. I hope you will check it out!
