During our Wild Living week of summer camp, we dyed merino wool with a variety of natural materials grown or gathered right here. They are (mostly) solar dyed, meaning we used the hot summer sun to heat up our dye material and it worked out great! Read on to see what we used to create these beautiful colors.

Earlier this month the Salem Art Association offered me (Casey) the opportunity to be the artist-in-residence at Bush Barn Art Museum in Salem, Oregon. I usually work with textiles so I took this opportunity to experiment with eco-printing on paper.
