My John C Campbell Folk School friend, N is coming for a visit.
She's winging her way here from North Carolina this afternoon...
...and boy, do we have plans!!
It's going to be a dye-a-thon around here...
...so I've started acquiring some supplies.
I scoured my area thrift stores for dye pots...
...since you shouldn't use food ones for dyeing.
I ordered some long rubber gloves...
...and some silk gauze, which I've ripped into strips in preparation.
(Raw edges are easier to attach to wool pieces with wisps of wool.)
I bought some Synthrapol fabric detergent...
...and some special German hand cleaner for the inevitable dyed body parts! :)
N is bringing the dye and her knowledge and expertise...
...as well as her joyful spirit, massive artistic talent (she can draw!!)...
...and her life of the party attitude.
I can't wait!!!
Gotta run-there's vacuuming to be done...
...and wine to be bought!!
