Dyeing the Rainbow

Okay....finally some pictures of what my blog is all about! Yes, I'm "digitally impaired" I take photos the old fashioned way...film! I just picked up some of my pictures and this is the one I was hoping for.

Taken during the weekend of the Appalachain Folk Festival September 24 & 25th of this year at Virginia's Explore Park (http://www.explorepark.org). I put on a natural dyeing demonstration and learned a few things in the process...I always learn something when participating in these events. On Sunday Kimberly showed me the process of Indigo dyeing, which of course, I have never done. On Saturday I dyed using Osage Orange and Madder, then on Sunday I top dyed a few skeins with the indigo.
