So...Here's the sneak peek at the fiber for the first installment of "Fiber Feast"!
Yes, I know it's not in it's dyed state....I'm keeping that mostly a secret (there may be an extreme close-up of the colors once I've got them dry). Can you guess what the fiber is from the photo? I'm not telling! All I will say is that I dyed it all up today and will have everything ready to ship out on July 1st. I can't wait to send out the first course of the Fiber Feast to those participating!
And I thought I'd show you all a photo of my huge workspace! Where I do all the dyeing:
Wow, check out the miles of counter space! I had just finished setting up to dye all the fiber for the club at once. I won't show you the dye aftermath...it's colorful, but not pretty. And here is my ginormous stovetop:
That's where the steaming and kettle dyeing takes place. Please forgive the stove mess! And no, that's not the kettle I use to make myself tea (mmmm tea). That's the banged up old kettle I use when I have to mix up a bit of dye.
I'm slowly getting my "storage/packaging/planning/workroom/guestroom" organized..and I'm hoping to give you all a look at that once I've got it looking respectable!
I'm also working hard this week to prepare for my next shop update on June 30th! I realize it's been awhile since I've had any new handpainted combed top. I'll be remedying that with this update!
I hope you enjoyed this little tour! I leave you with a photo from my garden (grape vines gone wild)!
i love the behind the scenes look. i'm amazed you get so much done with such little space!

Thanks, Opal. I'd probalby get more done if procrastination wasn't such a good friend of mine!
