Catching Sunshine


Yesterday's late afternoon sun was hitting my dye jars so beautifully that I had to snap a few photos. 





I'll share the results soon.  I can tell that the dyeing is very subtle on these, but I am enjoying the suncatcher effect during the process.

We've had another change in schedule around here with my husband starting a new job this week.  Blogging, shop updating, and well, everything else might be a little sporadic while we try to get used to the changes.  I hope you'll bear with me.

In my working time I've been working on small portable projects, namely some new brooches (that I love) and tiny canoes like I showed you yesterday.  I'm looking forward to sharing more in the coming weeks.

Until then, friends!

  1. I'd love to see a little Christmas Tree covered with birchbark canoes, maybe pine section tom-toms with birchbark drumskins. Birchbark tipi? All Native American things - that would be cool, no? I know you'll get right on it :: lynnie

  5. Beautiful light! I love the way light shines through liquid. Even better when it's the ocean and you're scuba diving and the light is dancing... Sorry, Hawai'i flashback... I hope the new schedule is maybe an improvement to the old. At the very least, I do hope the adjustments are quick and smooth :)

  9. What beautiful autumnal colours!

    Also, they remind me of specimen jars, in a good way!

  11. This is especially wonderful. I bet a little snail called Fern would love to take it for a row.
    The shape is just perfect too.
