Flower ~
Just living is not enough...
one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

Dye lots.
I hand dye nearly all of the fabric that I use in my art work, because of the depth that it adds. My methods can very but for the most part I use RIT dye and follow the stove top direction on the box.
I have found that you can achieve a great range of color when you combine different fabrics that very in fabric content as well as weight bellow are my results using 4 different dye baths.
Because I dye almost everything that I use the fabrics I gravitate to buy are white or natural in color for the most part. But you can even dye things that are different colors for a even more unexpected effect.

where in the world has Ruth gone?
“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
I have been on many grand adventures over the last few weeks and have not had a ounce of time to blog!
Here I am with Deborah my best friend from high school, she now lives in Chicago however this is the year that we both turn 45! and being that our birthdays our just one month apart we decided that we needed to celebrate together!
and even thought we are not the same young girls who used to be its so comforting that we are still a part of each others life's.
Deborah has grown up to be a jewelry artist.
( you can view her work on etsy and on her facebook)
she has a amazing way with color and texture. Deborah brought a little box full of delicious beads along with her PMC art-wear that I enjoyed pawing over.
(oh how I love looking at other peoples goodies!)
we had a great time driving, shopping and eating all over southern California!

So you can imagine my excitement when I got a parcel full of creative inspiration from my dear friend Kristen Robinson who has a new online class called

So fly on over and sign up so you can get your very own parcel of goodness sent your way!
so we can play together! I will be blogging my class home work.
