…is about STASH as something which is full of possibilities and potential.
I have been thinking about the word stash, what is it? A piece of fabric or thread, my (quite unused) paints and brushes, papers and wool and dyes… nettle in the garden, gorse behind it… rusty metals or wilted flowers I could “dye” with, used tea bags, onion skins, shells from a beach …
…all full of POSSIBILITIES, which seem to be endless…
…they often take my sleep away, but not my DREAMS…
100 % cotton t-shirt dyed with tea bags, colour modified with iron, handpainted, felted flower with a safety pin on the back. Better pictures to come :), if it doesn’ t rain again. But if it does I will have the right kind of water for dyeing with brazilwood! Is the rainwater stash as well???

Of course! What better to have in our stash than rainwater.
I haven’t visited your blog for a while – definitely remiss of me – what a lot of fun you have been having with natural dyes and felting. I love your wavy felt from the last entry.
Thankyou for your kind words on my blog – sorry we aren’t in the same class _ I enjoyed your insights last time we did one together
This has a nice surreal quality to it, almost like a distressed black and white photo. I bought a bunch of stuff to try natural dyeing, hopefully I can try it soon. All part of my burgeoning stash!
What an interesting effect. Doesn’t look like a 100% cotton t-shirt at all.Beautiful.
your stash is like a poem. I think the daisies in the photo belong there too. I just love your interpretation.
Yes the daises really look lovely next to the t’shirt!
oh yes rain water can count as stash:)
guess it’s the zeitgeist as we’re all working with rust one way or another . i agree with Fiona it’s like a haiku.

So unusual. You mentioned nettle in the garden — is that something used for dying fabric? If I recall correctly, nettles were what Rapunzel’s mother craved during her pregnancy.
