"So beautiful! I like your "organic" approach to design...see where it takes you. And the plant dyed fabrics have such wonderful depth."

I'm fine art based, but am about to embark on my first formal textiles course; a year of evening classes on textiles for professional development.

Dianne Cahill said… - Hi Julie, I am looking forward to seeing how you do the knitted border in the hemp on Sunshine Flowers. The yellow green you have in the piece is a stunning colour. Did you dye that yourself? Love your work, Dianne.

- LOL I never thought of it that way. My hubby bought me oodles of fabric that day, it was great. I was a seriously happy camper. :)

- Thanks for your lovely comments, Julie! I like felting but since breaking my wrist awhile ago; I don't have the same strength I used to, so I now find it easier to dry-felt with the embellisher:)
Best wishes!
