Blueberries by the Quarts and More Hand Dyes

This morning we traveled to the MIL's house to pick some berries. We now have 16 pint sized bags in the freezer. And some for fresh eating now,

Next on the my 'activities for the day' was to press the 12 pieces that had been dyed a few days back. This is actually my favorite part of dyeing. I've said it before, it's so exciting and calming at the same time! I really enjoy watching the patterning that comes to life as the steam iron glides across the fabric. If I ever figure out how to do a very short video for my blog, that will probably be the first. And it would only be aimed at the ironing board, so you could watch the magic take place. I'm sure there is actually a scientific term and reason this happens. I just know I like the magic of it. 


And a few close ups of interesting textures that appear as the iron moves across,,






In the first image of the hand dyes, those four pieces on the left keep drawing my attention. What do they look like to you?
