At today's fiber arts club, the presentation was about exploring cyanotype on cloth. Wool is not recommended, but one can use just about any bast fiber, plus silk. Much, MUCH easier than indigo dyeing!
I have done some experimenting with cyanotype on paper, as I would like to use it to document the garden, but sometimes it feels like one hobby too far. However, on cloth... like tee shirts or silk scarves....
Knitting: As a "thank you" to Artlink for allowing the fiber arts club to meet there for free, we have been encouraged to donate a handmade ornament for the holiday fund raiser; toward that end, I have been knitting itty bitty sweaters. Still slaving away on the quirky socks, as they are meant to be an xmas gift.
I have several looms that are just sitting around the house, in idle mode. Yet I was tempted to purchase yet another one, a vertical tapestry/rug loom with a shedding mechanism. But I decided to let someone else enjoy weaving on it. In fact, I would like to get rid of a few of my own looms. Someday.
