    Found your blog through IF today. I just started my own experiments with Eco-dye techniques. Lovely blog, pictures and sentiments.
    Cheers from Cleveland, Ohio

    thanks for the kind words. india's book eco colour opened a whole new idea about natural dyeing, says this veteran of 1970s dyeing!

    miss you aimee!
