Mosaic wall

This is the second summer that I have been working on The Wall. Ready to be done. lol! When I started, I carefully cut and planned where to neatly add each ceramic piece. Before long, I merely dropped plates on the ground, gathered the largest pieces, slathered cement on the back and willy nilly stuck them on a blank spot. Now, as the end is within sight, I am again attempting to carefully fill in the many blank spots with small ceramic and stone bits. I don't know if I will complete this before the snow falls, but I am optimistically confident that this project will be completed...eventually.

Drying Heads

Making paper mache pumpkins or will they be snow people?

Mashed up a bunch of shredded and torn, recycled papers

Added a bit of glue and dap

Covered a couple of balloons with the mixture

Let them dry

Added some more of the paper mache concoction

Drying again

They turned into jack-o-lanterns. Boo!

Still love those eucalyptus leaves. Am always amazed when the green leaves and blossoms turn a shade of red in the steamer.

Forgot I had a blog. 

Still making scarves.

You know, one of my favorite parts of the dyeing process comes at the very end, when I take the completed scarf, thoroughly wash and rinse it and then....drumroll, please...I iron the scarf. The colors and prints are so clear. I can see everything, as I iron.
