I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Silk Bells Hand Dyed
I was able to order some inexpensive silk caps r bells, because I wanted to hand dye them with natural dyes. I can tell you is not an easy task, it takes time. I had these bells, which were cream colored, soaking in alum and cream of tartar for at least 12 hours. I made the Lac (burgundy color), Cutch (golden brown), longwood Grey (dark grey), Osage Orange, the light yellow to orange color, I have registered to take a class some time this month and I hope I learn a lot. This is probably easier if I knew exactly what it is expected to be done and to have the same results constantly. Thanks for stopping by!
