feedsack fabric dyeing, etc.

vintage feedsack bag dyed purple
 After dyeing four upcycled linen zafu covers I didn't want to just throw the dye water out. I tossed in this piece of vintage off-white feedsack fabric, swished it around, left it for half an hour. I was so surprised by the frosted window pane appearance when it was dried!

 
vintage feedsack Dresden Plates
 Won these 28 Dresden Plate feedsack fabric patches in a facebook group!

 
Kale salad
In the last year I learned to love kale salads. If the kale is chopped fine and then salt added and worked into the leaves, it softens up a bit for easier chewing. This winter (Fla., USA) I have kale and collards growing in an old (un-seaworthy) boat in the back yard.
