As I'm cleaning - I am doing a bunch of dyeing. I got some really pretty colors from Dharma Trading as a Christmas gift from my sister and my husband assures me that the roll of pfd that I asked for my birthday (Saturday) is on the way!
Still looking at my hand dyed stash (and this isn't all of it - I assure you - just what I keep on hand in my studio) -it got me thinking - do I really need to dye up some new colors? Well aduh! Of course I do! I did red solo dyeing (multiple colors) and 8-gradation dyeing (the warm colors) this week and that will help a bit. But I am going to keep it up till I leave. Its just so much easier to do it while you have everything out!
Ohhh and a word about Dharma Trading Co. The last few times I've gotten my dyes at Pro-Chem because I live here in PA and they're in Massachusetts. Their shipping is figured on weight and location so you'd think it would cheaper right? No! Dharma's shipping was half the cost. . . plus they had more colors available. So that worked out nicely!
Anyways - nothing exciting here - just dyeing to clean I guess - grin!
So what have you been up to creatively?

Love your piles of hand dyes!
I'm obsessed with dyeing and there is always a "What if" and the result might be another shade.
Interesting to read about Dharma, I've ordered both from them and from PRO.
LOve Dharma-they're so good! You have a very good problem there with all your fabulous hand dyes!
I have always ordered from pro chem, but I will have to try dharma the next time. Pro chem does charge a lot for shipping.

Your hand dyes are yummy and I agree that you can never have too much.
I think your kitty loves your fabric as much as you do :-) what a stash! I am drooling ;-)
Have a great birthday and a roll of pfd fabric is sure to make it good. A girl can never have too much hand dyed fabric.
Your hand dyes are wonderful. Lucky you to have such beautiful fabrics to work with.
