Spring at last

 A little bit of warmth and suddenly the gardens and countryside are full of colour. The left hand photo shows cultivated flowers and the right thrift growing wild on a Cornish cliff


Most of the fruit and ornamental cherry trees are in blossom. The main road where I live has beautiful mature flowering cherries which are looking spectacular at the moment - this means we will have heavy winds in the next day or so.


Greens and browns are wonderfully fresh too.


A walk through the woods shows little secrets pockets of colour.


After seeing all these beautiful colours around me I decided to dye some fabrics and threads using procion dyes and the low emersion method.


These have all been machine washed and are ready to go ... 
the only thing is, what to make?
