Some of the blossoms are already out so I hope the rest of them can wait until February so we are covered in pink!<br />
<br />
<b>IMPORTANT: This year I'm no longer at the quilt show. Instead I'll be at the Kamuela Farmer's Market at Pukalani Stables. Its just one block behind the Parker Ranch shopping Center and an easy walk from all the activities. It opens earlier than the festival (7:30 am) and closes earlier (1:00pm).</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>UPDATE: The farmer's market will be an official stop on the Cherry Blossom shuttle bus so no need to walk to visit us. The bus will drop you off right at the market!</b><br />
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><b>I'll be right upfront as you enter the market gate, sharing a booth with Lorane and her quilts. She has also moved from her spot at the Quilt Show to the Farmer's Market.</b></span><br />

Last year I started making ice-dyed leggings to sell at the holiday craft fairs. Now every time I wear mine, I attract a new customer. <br />
<br />
One of the best things about ice dyeing is that, because the design is created as the ice melts and the dye drips onto the fabric, each one is totally unique. Different shapes and sizes of ice create different patterns. And often the dyes that are composed of many different colors split out and you get all sorts of colors you didn't expect. So you need to have no expectations when you ice dye, although you can get particular patterns depending on how you scrunch or fold the fabric before you add the ice and the dye,<br />

One of our big sellers was the Ohe Kapala bamboo-stamped silk scarves we offered for the first time this year, thanks to the classes Amy and I took from Dalai Tanahy at the Honolulu Museum of Art. You can see them in the post below. We had some that were the original cream color but the really popular ones were either dyed in soft warm pastels or bright Hawaiian colors of red/orange/green as well as a few ombre scarves in graduated colors. We plan to offer lots more of these in 2017.<br />

Our devore and shibori sarves (which we wrap around a pole with string, compress and dip in dye to give us our designs) will be showing up under many Christmas trees this year if the givers don't keep them for themselves.<br />
<br />
And our other new product in 2016, the shrug that doubles as a scarf, sold out at this show. Sorry, they went so fast we didn't even have time to take a picture. We'll be replenishing our stock for the Cherry Blossom festival the first Saturday in Februaruy in Waimea. If you want to find us there, we're inside at the Hawaiiann Quilt show in the building directly across from Kahilu theatre from 9-3.<br />

Amy and I recently took a class in bamboo stamping (aka Ohe Kapala) from master kapa maker Dalani Tanahy at the Honolulu Art Museum. We learned how to process the bamboo, carve our own stamps and then print on fabric using paint or dye. Its not as easy as it sounds!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These samples are Amy's -- she is much better at it than I am. She used Jacquard Textile Paint and stamped several rows on a variety of silk scarves. The idea is to make new designs by lining up each new row of stamping next to the previous row. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is a picture of the stamps Amy used. Some we carved -- most were purchased from the teacher.</div>

The Hawaiians used this method to decorate the kapa (cloth they made from pounding bark from the mulberry tree). It is making a comeback these days as are many things Hawaiian, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're hoping to have these available at the Made in Hawaii show in August. </div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You could definitely see the baby had grown and was more active and more interested in exploring while Mom pretty much stayed put.</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And here is Mom checking to see if her baby is still safe. The Mom was the color of the rocks and when she was stretched out, it was hard to distinguish her from her surroundings. The pup is black at birth but changes color as he gets older. Mom nurses for 5-7 weeks and then swims off and leaves the pup to fend for himself By that time she will have taught him how to find food and presumably toward off predators.</span></strong><br />

Even if you fold and wrap the same way. Here are two long chiffon scarves both folded lengthwise and then crosswise. The photos show that the center of these two scarves where the four folds meet are totally different Too bad this is the part that wraps around your neck and disappears. They were dyed with Tinfix silk dyes on the stove.</strong></span><br />

Dyed a solid yellow-green with Naupaka Leaves and then pole-wrapped and dyed with Tinfix silk dyes on the stove The fabric is chiffon and they are about 20x80, so good to wrap around your shoulders. I really like to use them when I'm on a plane when the air conditioning is turned way up. </div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is Sylvester. He's a feral cat who's decided there is better food inside than outside. So he pops in and out through the kitchen window several times a day to see what he can find to eat and to play in the Costco box that he's adopted. Smudge, my indoor cat, is not amused and there is lots of hissing.</span></strong></div>
