playsilk dyeing workshop !

in late may, rene shoemaker led a dyeing workshop at ARROW.

we dyed playsilks for our little ones, but in the process we learned about immersion dyeing and some of us played around with some tie dyeing too. we had lots of fun, and will do this again sometime !

our well-loved, but totally worn out furniture box:



should we recycle it, i wondered...?

no!

we turned it into a bright NEW house, complete with shingled roof and shining sun!
