  4. Helen, I've followed your blog for a long time now because of the photography and I haven't ever left a comment,until now. The colours in these photos are gorgeous,the simmering tin like a bowl of rose petals.It reminds me of the hanging I'm working on right now (but not in your league unfortunately!)

  5. Helen,
    Your blip was a great teaser ;-0 Love these photos of the dye process, also seeing more of Barter's. Looked at the lambs again and they're some of my favorite photos ever.
