miserable moths




Miserable colours are what inspire me ....and moths....while I will never be a neat embroiderer, I am pleased with the way the colours turned out..I dyed lots of squares of linen by dipping them in various pans of dye and overdying to get lovely muddy mothy colors!

  2. A lot of miserable moths (and miserable spiders) lurking in my shed these days, sheltering from the incessant rain, but none as attractive as yours...

  3. Are you kidding. Those are the most modest and magnificent moths. The colors are beautiful- just the colors I wish I were wearing everyday. What type of dyes are you using?
