Sometimes I feel like a nut

Nothing really nutty about this. Just wanted to test out a nut brown dye on something thicker than habotai.

Wow, this is really lovely. And Bambi is looking fine with her grey dress on too!
I think you need a fashion agent for your wearable (as opposed to flying) silk.

Bambi is the best model ever. She eats even less than a super-model and she never gives me any diva attitude!

Just started doing shibori this past winter. Your pieces are freakin’ KILLER. Love this one! I’m entering a rhuana in the local wearable show later in June. Spiderweb shibori – chartreuse over -dyed with black. I’ll put it on Facebook soon.

Thanks, Chelline. I love your northern themed painted silk wall hangings as well.
