Welcome to autumn, my favorite season.

All colors evoke emotions and meanings that are unique to each individual. Bursts of color everywhere against a pure blue sky. This season, blues, greens and earth colors give us strength and ground us. These blues— all kinds of blues signal hard work in every trade.

Green is the mark of the dyer 🌱

Making different hues of greens is as appreciated as a master indigo dyer. You start with a yellow— pure from a plant, or mixing yellows of many plants together. You are creating the collection of greens, it is your fancy. 

Indigo dyeing plays a large part in my process, and every spring, I look forward to putting together my indigo vat. On nice days, I bring everything outside and dye in my driveway and hang things on a large clothes line I have set up so that I can see everything together.
