This morning I thought I'd make a list of everything I wanted to do over the next week and then I stopped myself. The only list I want to make is a "ta-da" list (a phrase from Hazel, thank you again!).
One more finished block for the quilt.
A few strips are from Nancy (thank you again!).
I wandered the garden looking for things to make ink with. I gathered twigs, leaves, and rose hips.
I also found a crumbly brick that I ground into pigment. I am going to try mulling it soon. I was able to break down one of the rocks I found on the beach to a fine white powder.
Some of the rocks will leave a mark when I try a scratch test but I didn't have much luck breaking them apart. I either need to pound harder or try a file.
A couple of the rocks I picked up just because I loved them.
And I listened to this podcast, The Ground Shots, episode #59 "Is there such a thing as an invasive species." It was long (three hours!) but a great discussion of science, history, how we define words....
