Hi, I just did the drawing for my contest, and after my mom did the drawing, the winner is JMO!  =)  I will be contacting you on your site which you left a link for as well, please convo me on Etsy so we can set up your $25 gift certificate!  ;)

So, this is going to be a somewhat long post because I have been slacking lately and have quite a few updates!

Okay, so first, I have been doing lots of work on my dying and here are some of the new things I have been working on:

I also have been working on making a few batts and using different photography strategies:

Finally, I still need to announce the winner of my previous contest...I am going to have my mom draw a name from the five entries out of a bowl today and I will be announcing that winner later tonight and contacting them.  =)

Hello everyone!  I have decided to post the new samples I'm sending over to Phat Fiber for the May Greek Mythology theme.  =)  I chose Artemis as my inspiration, (partly because of the new Hunger Games movie that just came out), and more samples and full sized versions are soon to come in my shop...

Hello all.  I know I don't really post much on here, although I have decided I want to try to post more from now on.  I haven't really posted anything because it feels somewhat odd posting when I know there isn't too many people out there who even know about my blog, therefore it kind of seems like I am writing to myself!  Anyway, I am going to write regardless.  First thing is first, I wanted to share my new shop updates.  I have been working hard on my dying...(until recently it hasn't seemed to be going my way), and now I have finally posted some dye jobs I can feel happy about posting.  =)  Here is some alpaca I dyed and just added:

 


(I really wish I knew of a better way to display these pictures! =/  Anyway, these are the dye jobs for the alpaca...I have also been dying some other fiber as well such as mulberry silk noil and some nylon shiny firestar like stuff.  I have decided not to sell those though, at least for now so I can use them for making batts with my own dyed material.  Here is a pic though of some of these dyed fibers all together...I took the picture while they were all still drying outside:

The plum and orange stuff is the mulberry silk noil, and the green and bluish purple are the nylon.  I can't believe these actually came out this bright!  I discovered citric acid crystals which definitely helped in this process...  I also made some batts I included in my shop, although I am going to wait until later today to post about those so I can try to keep my posts consistently being updated...so check back later for that..=)
