Rustic felt on the cover

Felt and natural dyeing by me on the cover of Lithuanian People magazine, worn by beautiful Lithuanian actress Egle Jackaite and her sons. Photography by Viktorija Vaisvilaite.

The idea of the photographer was to create rustic and cozy image of the family members. For this I chose delicate silk, cotton muslin, wool, spun silk embroidery and natural dyeing and improvised eco printing of the garments. I used madder, cochineal, alkanet, walnut and young alder collected from my yard.

Labyrinths

Stopped by to visit my blog today, yes, I am more a visitor here, barely a blogger. Though all this Internet thing has broadened the world to many of us and opened windows, if not doors, many times it still feels like getting into the labyrinth of all the information and different sources just coming in crowds at you as soon as you open your browser window. Too much and too many. Especially blogging. Or maybe I just have difficulties to choose the path in the labyrinth, preferring to hold on to my silk yarns in my fingertips at the spinning wheel…:)
