Live Streaming from My Studio

I created a Ustream channel and will be streaming live from my studio starting next week. I'll be working on various natural dye, rust dyeing, composting, pigment painting, etc. in addition to a lot of collage mix media. I won't be able to particiapte in the chat unfortunately, my monitor and key board are across the room from me but will have a fix for that and soon.

Cuddled Up.

A serious cold front is moving in and the cats have hunkered down accordingly, on wool blankets no less.

Avocado Pit Dye Vat

Starting an avocado pit dye vat in a 2 quart jar.

Eye Glasses Strap

I started with a cartoon of what I hoped the beaded strap would look like and then started going through my collection of vintage beads, not bad for a first attempt!

Pony Beads

I'm looking for a source that sells these beads in Pony through 11/0  I'd REALLY love more pony's and some 8/0's in the iridescent coated black beads.

These beads are black lined green and blue glass beads respectively, pony size, and I need more of these as well, what you see here in all of the pictures amounts to a tablespoon and a half each.

 

What's on My Sewing Table

Or you can't see me, right?  NOTE I do put in my descriptions that my items come from a pet friendly home, someday my studio WILL BE out of the house again.
