--- Quote from: Hawkdancer on March 25, 2020, 12:26:14 am ---I would bet some of the local tribal elders would be glad to teach her about dyes and other crafts if she has the interstate to learn!  There was a thread a while back about "native" dyes from natural material, also, I think Reginald & Gladys Laubin had some info in their book, "The Indian Tipi";  I'll try to find and make a copy for you.  We are "enjoying" this time by trying to get the house ready for showing, and figuring out how to get through the slowdown economically.  Jacie is self employed and has had several clients bail out, some of them have paid her anyway, but?

The trouble with most natural purples (chokecherry juice makes a pretty good one) is that they turn brown over time when exposed to oxygen and/or sunlight.   All natural things eventually fade to tan or brown, it seems.

What kind of business is your wife in?  Hope we can all hang in until things get back to semi-normal.

Hawkdancer:
She is a house cleaner, and violin teacher, she is trying to get set up to teach remotely, and hopefully be able to keep all her students busy.  My harp teacher has cancelled her lessons on medical advise, but since we are more or less busy getting the house ready to list, that works for me

Hawkdancer:
Thomas,  PM sent.

Mr. Woolery:
Thomas, this is an unusual winter. Generally the snow is gone by the end of April. We generally have melting happening but now, more than there is this year. I’m expecting snow still on the ground mid-May.
