2019 Summer Time

Wow!  I haven't posted for a year!  Shame on me!

It's summer time in New Hampshire and the entire Northeast!
Probably not a news flash but it makes me happy to type it out.
I didn't care for our spring weather this year, rain, rain, rain and cold.  I was looking forward to the new growth, flowers and leaves to eco-print and dye with.

I'm happy and proud to report that I have been part of a project for a young woman, Marie Clarke-Wilson, in the UK to earn her MA degree.  She posted a call for women who would like to participate in printing two squares of fabric, one cotton the other silk using eco-printing.  I signed on and she completed the project today. An exhibit opened today and she did an amazing job putting all of this together.  There are 103 women from around the globe who have participated.  We sent her our two squares and a little extra of our choice.  I sent her a small scarf I had printed using local leaves.  

This is a photo of the silk square I printed and mailed to her.  It is placed on the top row, 7th one in from the left.  A nice red one is right next to mine.  They are all quite beautiful and this has been a very exciting adventure for me.  She also made a video of this project "How Far Does the Hand Reach".  I will try and load it shortly.  I had made a short video telling about my experience (which she requested) and tried to send it to her.  I got it to her but she couldn't open it.  Darn!  I tried a few more times, then decided I was done with it.  She did include some of the participants videos in the main piece she had recorded.  What fun!!

Hot and humid right now and I'm hoping to go to the ocean in a couple of weeks. Happiness!
