Craving an Art Fix!

Well having waited hand n foot upon the invalid (hubby had knee surgery) and made inroads on The Big Spring Clean I'm just itchin to get stitchin :)
The Soursob or sour grass as some people call it (oxalis) is in full bloom so picking has been very fruitful. I find if I pick a shopping bag full per day then freeze it I can smash the frozen oxalis down to quite a small size to store in the freezer. It makes a wonderful yellow dye and with addition of various mordants or the use of pots as mordants you can achieve some wonderful greens and even oranges :)
