back yard

front yard

and

two silver buttons,

waiting for string

the back of one above

thank you roz.

since school has begun

i'm a bit busy

missed yoga

but getting a few things done.

dyeing silks

goldenrod and rose leaves and wild grape

and indigo

a little cauldron

the end of the indigo harvest

just in time

frost is in the weekend forecast

a zine to welcome the intertime of autumn

pleases me

and yesterday and today news:

a papermaking student from the northwest, jan,

sent me lovely words

and a dyeing student,
also from there, jenny,
sent me a wonderful postcard:
a print of usnia and dyed with the same
labor day weekend was amazing with a houseful
a coven
healing and resting
and stitching and making energy.

wild grapes from the frontyard,
look like the backyard,
on three layer silk
and then there's
today's surprise.
(when i can get blogger to listen
to my request,
i will share that, too.)
it's working into a storm.
wendy is restless.
i have a thing or so to do, before suppertime.
