  1. Congratulations and good luck in your endeavors... I love Blue-eyed grass.It grows so thick on the roadsides here that the whole right of way looks blue. You know... I've never picked one... They would look lovely bunched in a tiny vintage bottle wouldn't they?

  3. dianne-yes a whole tiny bouquet would be lovely.

    india-the print is from an eraser print i made years ago on that fabric with dye. it happened to be on a piece of cotton i found to dye...the landform marks are actually too much dye squished around and printed heavily.
