Just Peachy

I have been resisting the urge to get back to my fabric dyeing but today I could resist no longer. The creative urge won! I had my color choices in mind, again drawing from nature. The Calhoun peaches first came to mind but at a recent class my daughter and I enjoyed our lunch in the Des Moines Art Center’s Rose garden. While the roses were nearing the end of their beauty they were still worthy of commemorating. First step for me is to dye some wool in colors from Cabernet to persimmon to sunflower yellow. Next step will be to decide on design. Will it be a single rose in a bud vase or a whole bouquet? Hmmm, more creative thinking time needed.
