random this week

7th grade wet on wet painting of the dome in Florance. The Duomo

Star Child story I did for 1st grade....felted on a thick piece of blue felt
we plant dyed cotton and had some "not so good" results on about 10 skeins..... so my older daughter and a friend are over dyeing with food color (thank Teresa for the idea:)

Your Star Child picture is so very beautiful!! We did needle felted pictures for the first time this weekend. Yours is inspiring!

yes, cotton can be tricky. We used food coloring on our beginning 3rd grade crochet projects(blogged about a few days ago...check my blog for a very bad picture!)...it turned out ok. The current Living Crafts has an article about painting yarn with food colors.
