Fan Reed input

I have emailed off the last inputs to the fan reed book. I feel as though I am burrowing through the mountain of deadlines although I somehow made time to do some dyeing with Procion MX. I folded and clamped two silk scarves, then dyed them. Three cotton T-shirts were dyed using ice dyeing. This method suffers from the defect that all new techniques suffer from.  I cannot even  begin to guess, what the result will look like! I shall be over dyeing the yellow Tshirt with blue.

Today I took a day off to go to Slimbridge with my daughter Anne. A lovely sunny day. But the place had got  so muddy that they removed a lot of birds so the ground could recover, leaving a lot of pools empty. I did get some good photos.

Tomorrow, I am teaching Japanese bookbinding in this house which is a new one for us. Dorothy is going to be teaching Procion dyeing to a class here in April.
