<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Opie.

He was her companion for 14 years and passed away just as I finished painting him. So it was a timely gift to Patty and her husband. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cwtch is as big as Roscoe now, although still weighs less. He goes on walks with us all the way to the river which is half a mile. He gets a little scared crossing the field, and won't go past the cows if they are too close. But he especially loves walking through the woods and climbing trees, pouncing on leaves. He has an appointment with the vet on Saturday to get neutered which I hate to do but it must be done. He is so much fun! I hope the neutering doesn't change his personality.</span></span><br />Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01615007932636751108noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259055424444812263.post-31941467609748216422018-09-28T10:25:00.001-07:002018-09-28T10:27:20.135-07:00Eco dye try<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've done it. I jumped on the eco dye bandwagon and love my results! I've seen what others have done and wanted to try. I watched <a href="https://youtu.be/wHh7QnYgvcU" target="_blank">this video</a> on eco dyeing paper and thought, I could do that! So I did. I first gathered up some plant matter from around my yard.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This included bamboo leaves, hydrangea leaves and flowers, a rose flower and leaves, dill heads, Queen Anne's lace, nasturtium flowers, arborvitae branches, English ivy, canary grass, hops leaves and other bits of things. I used various papers I had on hand including water color paper, computer paper, rice paper, some old nearly translucent typing paper, and paper towels. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I sandwiched the plant matter in between folded sheets of paper. Stacked all the folded papers together, sandwiched those between two ceramic tiles. Tied the whole shebang together with wire, then put it all into a water bath to cover. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also added a cup or so of vinegar and some rusty pieces of metal.

I numbered my papers and wrote down what plant went to each so I would know how I achieved the results. But I think it is all variable. I doubt I would get the same results using the same papers and plants, but I'll have to experiment more to know for sure.<br />

I followed the sound and soon discovered a little gray kitten hiding in the grass in the now dry creek bed. I'd guess he was only 8 weeks old. I had some dog kibble in my pocket and tossed him some and he dove on it and ate it right up. Decided to take the dogs home and came back with more food and water for the little guy. He was still there and came right out to eat some more and let me pick him up. He wasn't feral, that's for sure! What could I do but bring him home? I'd said I didn't want to look for another cat after my Charlie died back in March. But the universe sent me this one so now I have a cat again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was totally unafraid of the dogs, seemed very socialized and calm. I have no idea where he came from but people often drop their unwanted pets off out here, that is all I can guess. He has a home now! We named him Cwtch, (rhymes with Butch) you can read about the name <a href="https://www.southwales.ac.uk/story/926/" target="_blank">here</a> if you'd like. Here is a quick definition of this Welsh word: ‘…Cwtch,
which has long been a familiar word in the Welsh language, was given two
definitions: noun (Welsh) 1. a cupboard or cubbyhole. 2. a cuddle or
hug.’ </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also means a safe place, which he certainly found here.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This baler uses two strings to tie up the bales. These bales weigh about 55 to 65 pounds.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This above piece of equipment is an elevator for getting the bales into the trailer. It is hard to describe how it works but it is pulled along next to the trailer and you can see the chute on the bottom left side. Bales get shuffled into the chute and pulled up by that barbed chain you can see that starts at the bottom and goes up to the top where the bale then falls out into the trailer. Someone is on the trailer and they pick up the bale and place it in the stack. I have never used one of these machines but find it interesting and ingenious.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I like the color and texture of the chute where the bales have rubbed the paint off and made it smooth as satin even though it looks rough and pitted.</span></span><br />

Steve (chain saw man) is on the right and the young man with the baby is Ken's son and grandson. He likes to expose them right away to the hay process! Many ranch kids learn to drive by being put in the truck to drive for the hay crew as they pick up bales, although I'm pretty sure they don't start them quite as young as this baby!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We were fortunate that the young men next door, Chase and Neal, noticed we were picking up bales and they came and helped with the last load. My job was also unloading the truck but when Neal came, he took over for me so I didn't have much to do. But I get to feed all that hay out slowly over the winter. I'm glad the bales are only about 60 pounds, about half my weight.</span></span><br />

Not sure if this is where it will stay, but it is there for now.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That little black spot in the background is my Roscoe, who was so patiently waiting along with Gunnar while I spent about an hour planting some newly dug daffodil and blue bell bulbs all over this little sunny glade.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are a lot of Cascara trees on my property, and the bees are indeed very loud in them right now since the Cascara is flowering. Cascara, also known as Chittum which is a politically correct reference to the fact that the chittum bark is widely used as an herbal laxative.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope next spring I can share a picture of this glade full of daffodils and blue bells!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Above are pictures of the outside of the scroll.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I love Mary Oliver's poetry. And I love the Heron Dance publications with most of the watercolor paintings by Rod MacIver. The two seem to go together well. I do not have any copyrights to these works so this scroll is purely for me. I think I will put it in a quiet glade in my forest and see how it holds up to the elements over the years.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are more but this is enough for today. Don't want to overwhelm you with photos. Since I only have half a dozen at most followers any more, this blog is mostly a record for myself. I guess people don't read blogs any more. I didn't like posting on Facebook, it felt too impersonal and I've been reading things about Facebook that I don't like. So I'm back to blogging. Thanks for sticking around.</span></span><br />

Did you know I recently acquired a new one? It's true, I did. Here she is the day I got her.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYzbdvWdAwl-RhyzkdpV2b9gJXZIenHvV5NoqOUXtB6k4H4eLkFUaPooqj9UG9Y4u5HUZiUGRy9zqzioj-qKf7wKQ9S8wen2nWufwXGdJmmvgwQoVreFInkjgE4C1NJUcj7Qzi8mpzzU/s1600/Clara+not+trimmed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="588" data-original-width="783" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYzbdvWdAwl-RhyzkdpV2b9gJXZIenHvV5NoqOUXtB6k4H4eLkFUaPooqj9UG9Y4u5HUZiUGRy9zqzioj-qKf7wKQ9S8wen2nWufwXGdJmmvgwQoVreFInkjgE4C1NJUcj7Qzi8mpzzU/s320/Clara+not+trimmed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took her on because my friend who had her was moving and couldn't keep Clara. She was all alone at her previous home so she is really better off here, in a herd now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Clara was badly in need of trimming so I finally got around to catching her and going at her shaggy matted dirty hair with a good pair of scissors. I covered her eyes with a cloth and that helped calm her down so I could work on her. Took awhile but here are the results:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can actually see her tail now! Before she had some filthy dags hanging at her hind end and now they are gone. (dags are the dirty matted stringy hair that hangs around the tail area) I'd like to catch and trim Gracie next. She is the lighter colored one in the picture above. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This picture shows the mass of hair I cut off of her. I couldn't save it, too dirty and full of burrs and totally matted. I saved a couple of chunks thinking I might be able to needle felt them into some sort of thing to give back to the friend I got Clara from. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before, when I only had 3 llamas, Gracie was at the bottom of the pecking order. Someone has to be and she is the youngest (at 7) and came after the others (before Clara) so it was her by default. Now she has someone to pick on so she is happy. Clara doesn't seem to mind being at the bottom. I think she is just happy to be in a herd instead of alone! She is very sweet and inquisitive, as is Gracie. The other two are older, probably getting close to 20, which is fairly old for a llama. They are both stand offish and don't like to be touched. Clara is about 13. The original 3 llamas were used to wading across the creek to get to the big hay field.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It took Clara awhile to get up the nerve to follow them. She didn't know how deep the water was. Eventually she gave it a try and now crosses back and forth with the rest at will. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The water isn't terribly deep as you can see by the water line on Angel. Surprise, the oldest llama, (she came with that name, all of them came named) likes to hug the fence line as she crosses and she barely gets her feet wet. Clara took a cue from her and crosses like that. Angel and Gracie like to just wade on through. Gracie in particular likes to play in the water. I have to keep the water barrel tied down otherwise she will play in the water and knock it over.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made this last image into a card for my friend and sent it to her. She misses Clara but is so grateful I was able to give her a good home. I'm happy to have her. We were already supplying the hay for Clara in her old home so now we will just put it in our barn this year. Hay season coming up soon!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Of course we can't forget the feathers, can't throw any of those away now can we? No, of course not!

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This comb tool helps open up the honey cells that the knife missed. All the scrapings are saved and we put them out for the bees to gather the last bits of honey before we save the wax. It can be melted and filtered to get all the unsavory bits out of it, and then the wax used however we see fit. We use it in lip balms and hand creams, and I have also used it to make encaustic wax for my art work. My house smells wonderful now, redolent of honey and bees wax. Because most of the wax remains in the trays, we don't harvest much of it. The bees will reuse the trays, hopefully filling them up again over the summer. We got about 8 and 1/2 gallons of honey from these two supers today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you would like to see the post I created years ago where we captured a wild swarm of bees, you can see it here: <a href="https://laughingdogarts.blogspot.com/2011/06/going-buggy.html" target="_blank">Going Buggy</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other news from the home front, the hummingbirds have returned! Too bad we can't feed them the honey but evidently it isn't good for them. Seems odd but I'm not going to test it. They get pure cane sugar syrup with no added coloring.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I purchased a Laurel Burch Embracing Horses panel from ebay. They are out of print but still plenty for sale in various color ways. I'm glad I chose this one, I think it is perfect.</span></span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is what it used to look like before I added the panel right over the top. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I did a little stitching over the horses to the background panel. This shows the reverse side.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then I fussy cut some swirly shapes from another fabric and used misty fuse to attach them before free motion stitching them down. Finally I stitched it all down carefully over the already finished quilt.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had pieced together some soft rayon fabric for the back of the quilt. I think it will make a nice gift, now. I appreciate all the advice my good blog readers gave me, advice that I used to good effect. What do you think? Better??</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now I need to get back to the batik quilt, it is patiently waiting to be quilted. I will leave you with a picture of my cat Charlie, sitting on my painting table.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the one I showed in my last post. After looking at it on my wall for awhile I find it too chaotic and crazy, not sure I even like it. I might have to tear it apart. I like individual blocks, but not the whole thing.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wanted to make a quilt using some pretty horse related fabrics I have been saving (hoarding) for years now. Above shows not the main fabric, but a secondary one. I love the colors in it as well as the green and violet Laurel Burch fabric that was my main choice. Above shows how I begin my crazy pieced blocks. I start with a 10 inch square of some cotton prints that I don't like. I put a wonky cut piece of the main fabric approximately in the center, then I begin stitching strips along the sides in a sort of log cabin style.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Except I'm stitching and flipping the strips as I go, right on to the base fabric. Sometimes I have used as the base, squares of batting, but the fabric stays squared up better.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not quite big enough for a quilt and awfully busy so I made some borders to put along the sides.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not really much less busy. Used mostly my hand dyed solids for these stitch and flip strips on top of a base fabric. I made two border pieces, each 60 inches by 10 inches, then cut them in half lengthwise to make four strips, 5" X 60".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since the quilt top is so well stitched to the base fabric, I decided not to traditionally quilt the top but to tie it instead. I'm trying to use up my huge stash of fabric so instead of batting I used an old flannel sheet, and I pieced together some rayon for the backing. It is soft.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My most recent self portrait is one I have been using as my Facebook badge. It came about because I feed the crows every morning on my walks. When I get to the fence where I put food on top of the fenceposts I call them. "Crows!! Crows!! Crow-de-os!!" I yell. They usually come flying in. So this one is a fantasy of me feeding them. They don't really come to my hands and I don't really wear a skirt. I do have birds that come to my hands. Chickadees mob me at times, demanding a peanut from my pocket that I keep just for them. Nothing sweeter than a little chickadee landing on my hand, trusting me. Gray Jays and sometimes Pine Siskins have also come to my hands. So fun! If you look closely you can see my three dogs in the picture too.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Finally this picture is not a self portrait but one done by my neighbor Gwen, the one who has the cows I share pictures of. I just love this, she shows me on a walk with Windy, Roscoe and Gunnar in front carrying a stick, and me with my nose in a book. I sometimes bring a book along to read as I walk if the weather is dry. The dogs don't like it when I do this, they can tell they don't have my full attention, so I don't do it very often. But sometimes it is hard to put a good book down.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that's it for now.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago when I was walking here, I heard a rustling rumbling sound coming from the forest and I thought "What is that noise? The cows shouldn't be in there. Sounds like a big animal, maybe an elk crashing through the woods?" Then this huge alder tree came falling down, right where I had been about to walk. I have never seen a tree spontaneously fall down with no wind or logger to help it. It is on the neighbor's property and they have been working on cutting it up for firewood. I like the way the red alder shows why it is named so. When a fresh tree is cut up it bleeds red.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a big old stump with new trees growing up out of it. I climbed it once and looked inside, it is hollow. If I ever have to hide from someone, I might run here and get in. You might be able to see how the cows have rubbed on that long snakey root piece and made it all shiny.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I'll call this a trunklet. Kinda like a bracelet except it is on a tree trunk. Chicken wire was wrapped around the trunk in hopes of keeping the animals from nibbling on the bark but evidently it made a nice spot to rub on. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Neighbors cows have been calving this past week. Here is Ruby and her little calf from last year. I saw this morning that she calved another little white faced baby. She is a good mom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That is enough for today from around the farm.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Be well.</span></span><br />

Not sure I even know how anymore with the changes to blogger since then. Thought I'd give it a test drive today, see if I can get some photos posted of some work I've done with my Stitch 'n Bitch group. We all make what we call calendar pages, 12 of them apiece, then we trade around with each other and make our own calendar using these pages as the decorative part of the calendar. Here are some of mine from last year. Remember you can click on them to make them bigger if you'd like.</span></span><br />
