The Proper Way to Tea Dye..

 

Happy January..

dear hearts!!

I have been joyfully tea dying..

using hibiscus and a tea 

named Lemon Zinger

I am planning on using them in my

new Slow Stitch projects...

and I wanted to share the lovely 

pink color that I received...

if you have not viewed my 

video on tea dying..

Paper Stacks

Sometimes, 

literally

everything in the studio is 

simply in process...

and as 

I prefer to 

blog weekly 

to keep you informed 

on the studio work...

it becomes necessary to share 

works in process...

not that I am crazy about that..

but I do know you enjoy

the process...

sometimes as much as

the product.

The pieces here are paper stacks that 

I am hand stitching

together

and will be mounted on 

antique book covers...

foxed pages, black bean dyed antique lace, wrapping papers and black threads...

 for my latest submission to 

Sew Somerset

and I am 

stringing words together slowly

in the studio for the article as 

I work on the 

book covers...

While we sizzle in summer...

my thoughts have drifted to winter..

if they are chosen to make their 

debut appearance 

in the December 1st 

zine

So I am

off to work...

so many loose ends to tie..

and as always...

thank you for stopping by..

ciao, ciao..
