A good day to dye

How's that for a title, LOL! Actually it *was* a good day - it had rained in the morning but when we got together it had cleared up and it got hot. Of course hot for Alaskans is probably cool for some of you! Four of us got together at Karen's house to play. We had a great pot luck lunch and then we got to work making messes. We invented downhill dyeing - which consisted of laying a large piece of material on a slope and then squirting color onto it to see how it ran. We had some interesting pieces to say the least. We also played with those Pebeo Setacolor paints. That was fun - although I got the biggest kick out of watching the girls go through Karen's garden cutting flowers and leaves off her plants. I brought about 7 fat quarters of fabric to play with and only made mud out of one, so I'm happy. Too bad I still have to do the wash out - it would be fun to just play with them all!
