I seek for plant parts with which I can dye and where I can make delicious recipes with. Nettle, the weed we all know, is one of them.

Carob powder

Posted on June 16, 2021June 16, 2021 by Cindy

I started to use plant parts to dye cotton with and in the process of finding these materials I try to get more use out of it. Carob is such a thing. Yippee, makes me happy to get multiple uses out of one plant.

I am going back in time with this story: being at the end of my 5 year cycling trip, in 2019. I was tired. I needed a stop from cycling and constant moving.

Our friend Marilyn offered us the room at the side of her neatly brick build house for no costs and to keep … Continue reading Pouch Filadelfia

A certain technique, a certain stitch, a certain weirdness about the time we were in (read Covid) was what it took to get this pouch done (even quickly so). My husband and I were so-called hobo’s, vagabonds, homeless. Our dwellings were in the woods of Florida. Our neighborhood consisted of a Health Park for the … Continue reading Pouch Willhopper Road

This pouch has seen exceptional beauty. From sweltering heat to high rising plains. I wanted this pouch to equal that beauty. Of course, pouches can not 'see', yet, the mirrors might.
