Oak-dyed-mellow-yellow joins red and white. Knitted, then felted. The white spots are bits of wool stitched on but if I make another spotted one, I'll needle felt instead. After stuffing the stem with wool and adding a little rice for weight, a circlet of wool is attached. The very wonderful pattern is here.
I'm thinking a whole colony of mushrooms from tree-dyed wool might be a fun way to document wool in the dye-pot. No leaf collecting today though -- maybe pinecones.
oh wonderful

ReplyDeleteThanks, Trish -- this little bit of snow is OK, as long as it melts this weekend so I can find more leaves!
ReplyDeleteLyn, thank you! -- and I honestly don't know if the bees are OK or not -- saw some dead ones last time I changed out the feeder, am hoping it's normal die-off...
