My friends and family would say that I can't sit still and be quiet. Period.
Hmm...maybe they are correct.
I've been using up my eco dyed/natural dyed scraps (and I do mean scraps) on a small piece of handwork.
I used pieces that are about 2-3 inches long (and wide) and put them on a canvas base.
Then began stitching.
I also used my natural dyed threads (except one piece of rust DMC thread) and they look wonderful on the fabrics!
The natural dyes seem to glow from within.
I am using a hoop this time since the fabric weights are so different.
Here's a few in-progress peeks.

 |
| Lovely rust |

| A monoprint from something in my bin of goodies |
 |
| Rusted fabric, rusted thread |

| I took this thread out of my "rust bin" too early but I couldn't help myself. I have more cooking. |
It's a work in progress for sure.
