Over the next few weeks I will be posting instructions for various things you can do with the vintage and unusual products I sell: flowers from hankies or lace trim, machine sewn yarn "lace," and couching fancy yarns. Keep checking back. I am trying to get into the habit of posting on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In my last post, I wrote about several plants I use as dyes, but I did not have an image for the dahlias. Over the weekend, I gathered a gorgeous bouquet of them from my mother's garden. Dahlias have been bred to an amazing array of colors and variances in flower and petal form. Some avid growers of them show their flowers at judged events with passion on the levels of horse and dog shows. We enjoy them at home, and when these blooms fade, their color will be captured in some silk that I have waiting.
We always need beautiful things to look at in a world full of people doing ugly things.
