I met her at the craft night she held in Sydney. She is such a great person, I thought I would check out your blog. I never would have guessed that the first thing I would see is two of my favorite things: natural dyes, and Japan! I am so envious of your trip and it was so fun to see and read about the cool things you did. Maybe we will meet at a future craft night and I can hear more about it.sheila at shecologicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811339589837502298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730741160878867662.post-11672932258806974482011-07-20T23:34:29.807+10:002011-07-20T23:34:29.807+10:00I would not have even thought of dying fabric on a...I would not have even thought of dying fabric on a trip...but, what a great idea and I am sure it added an element of fun.<br />I think the indigo dying process would be my favorite thing too!<br />What beautiful fabrics you have dyed.
