I shall not stop dyeing now.

                                                     Life weaves around
                                                     and in amongst you all
                                                  and then in a heart beat 
                                                         it transforms
     
                                                so in the spirit of oneness

                              i shall share my eyes view of this most glorious spinning chunk
                                       of wonder floating in the enormous abyss.



The spiralling creeper outside the window following the pattern of the Golden Ratio

and a garden of delight.
The summer storms linger   
creating a sailors delight with radiant red sunsets.                                                                     



With a sense of wonder i discovered
who honours nature in a familiar spirit to my own heart,
and with our joint love of cloth
and creation, 


i set out upon a new branch on the tree of my life
and 
gave away most of my old clothes,
and started dyeing natural fibres with the leaves laying about the place using only natural earth friendly processes.

a couple of bundles ready for the dye pot.

My new wardrobe - all second hand or hand made, as always - nestled amongst some of the trees who gave of their leaves for the 
colours.

And here on a skirt i made from an old sheet,
-in the first cloth i dyed- 
i discovered 
this most remarkable print,
the spirit of the mistletoe, 
the leaf that created the mark,
here he was staring up at me right in the centre of the skirt. 

I shall not stop dyeing now.
