I had another customer drop by yesterday…this one met me at Red Dirt Art Festival last weekend. She was looking for a stole to wear with her wedding dress, which is a light honey, buff sort of color I’d probably call “champagne”. We looked at my scarves and her cell phone picture of it, and…
That, my friends, is a picture of 104 scarves! Back in January, I was contacted by a woman who has talked to me at several Art Fairs here in Redlands. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association – they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country…
I got a request for a black – grey- lavender scarf last Friday. I surprised myself at how much I love this pallette. I name my color palettes so that when I go to mix the same colors again I can refer to something memorable. What stated as a practicality when I first started dyeing…
I’ve been learning the value of patience these past couple of weeks. Combining the huge number scarves I need to dye with coolish weather, I’ve not been able to dye and finish scarves as quickly as usual. Turns out that’s a good thing…when I let the scarves soak in a bucket of water for days,…
Another productive day of dyeing: a little over 40 scarves in my Winter palettes. I had another day of lovely weather. 70 degrees, sunny skies, hummingbirds singing (well, they really sort of scratch…), Stirling keeping me company, really a lovely day. I had so much fun with these yesterday, I thought I’d treat you to…
Day 2 was all about my Spring palette scarves. Here are 51 scarves sitting on my lawn: I think it’s so neat that all these crumpled messes turn into such pretty scarves! So I thought I’d juxtapose each bin of scarves in progress with a picture of a finished one.
Hooray! Although the wedding isn’t ”til March, the bride & groom will be home for the holidays, and thus can give these scarves out to a lot of people. The thought behind these scarves is that everyone in the wedding party will wear one, and will wear something that somehow coordinates with the colors in the scarf….
I’ve been wanting to post this for a week now, but life got in the way. One of the incredible people I’ve had the honor of meeting online is Angie Allen, of Jumping Jack Designs. She is a talented paper goods designer who has spent the past 300 days or so working on her photography…
In August I dyed two scarves for a couple that is getting married next Spring. They’d like the entire wedding party to wear something (a stole, tie, scarf or pocket square) dyed with the same palette, and then each person can just wear clothes that go with scarf – how cool is that? I’m also…
So, truth be told, I’ve got so much to do that it isn’t all even on the list, sigh… Anyway, back when I worked in a research lab at THE Ohio State University vet school, there was a young lady, a pre-vet student, who worked on a Master’s in our lab. Jaime LOVES pigs! Seriously!…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
