Along the way, my focus changed and the natural color of walnuts and berries and finally rust spoke to me and made so much more sense for the work I was doing. <br /><br />Also, because I live in the country and the chemical dyes require so much water for rinsing I was afraid of overwhelming my septic system. I haven't used that type of dye for over a decade now. <br /><br />Have fun exploring.Pat Vivodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411887608636024114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036939980065534881.post-57223008247633557952012-07-12T18:50:21.043-05:002012-07-12T18:50:21.043-05:00I've enjoyed reading your blog.
