oxidizing indigo on the grass 
indigo dipping 
squishing frozen chokecherries to release their colour
pre-mordanted fabrics in chokecherry colours. This past week our youngest processed the chokecherries she picked at the cottage, and then did a bunch of indigo dyeing for a quilt she is making. She has so much energy, is so eager to learn and practice, it seems that she has caught the art bug and I am happy for her.
Howard and Kirsten are here.

i have two, both artists using marks and fiber. it's wonderful! and a bit scary isn't it?
Ah chokecherries--mom used to yell at me for putting them in the pockets of my white blouse and squishing them when i climbed over the fence :)--a LOVELY colour and splotch result! What are you mordanting with for them?
looks like lots of fun spending time with someone with so much energy and creating art!
Judy, I am so thrilled for you that your youngest is interested in following in your footsteps!
Judy- it was great to see the indigo process and actually help a bit when the storm was approaching!
oh this is great to see!
My daughter does the same, she just wants to keep dyeing things, and do more. I loved seeing this indigo process judy thanks for that.
