Dyed reeds

Preparing for the Basket Weaving class I wanted to offer other color options besides just the natural reeds- which are beautiful in their own right.

Here I combined natural with a subtle nude color:

I achieved the colors for this basket and the basket Eugenia made (pictured below), using a mixture of Jacquard Acid Dyes and Kool Aid packets:

Somehow yesterday's Basket Weaving class had only one person signed up. It was just Eugenia and I, and it was such fun.

I thought you guys should see her basket. She really excels at crafts that require meticulous attention. I blogged about her soap batch a little while ago...

Here she is working away...(on turbo speed it looks like).
Great work!
