Not so much time for creating at the moment as most of my spare time is being spent tending to seedlings, potting and working in the garden. I’m making good progress on my stitched map of the garden… I decided to use single strands of yarn for the trees and shrubs as I have a much wider range of greens to play with from my naturally dyed stash. The trickiest thing is knowing when to stop - what detail to add and what to leave out. Definitely nearly there though.

Two very different dyebaths this week - soft greens from nettle tops, and yellows/greys from hornbeam catkins (not from the garden but swept up from the pavement at the end of my road).

Quite fun using up some ink from a job to make repeat shapes, turned into leaves with a dip pen once dry. All roads lead back to drawing plants in some form or another at the moment!
