This month's fiber subscription was about solar dyeing, but since i have no deck to put jars on, I simply microwaved it. I used my own powdered dyes, not the ones provided, and I really like it. It's just so easy to dye this way and I love the variegated colouring. Pic of the dried fiber to come soon!

There are three butterflies on this wall which is in the back of a small parking lot and not particularly visible from the street which is a shame as the art won't be seen by as many people as it might be if located in a different place. It deserves more recognition.
There are few places as beautiful as Mason Creek and the old trail that winds its way up to the lake.

While it heavily resembles the cruciform style of Frank Lloyd Wright's Willits House, this specific residence was designed in 1913 by Wright's close associates and fellow Prairie School pioneers, Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin.

"Fortnum & Mason, often shortened to just "Fortnum's" is a department store and Royal Warrant holder, situated in central London, with two other branches in Japan. Its headquarters are located at 181 Piccadilly where it was established in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason. It is privately owned by Wittington Investments Ltd.
Fortnum and Mason is recognised internationally for its high quality goods and as an iconic British symbol. It has held many Royal Warrants over the past 150 years.
Founded as a grocery store, Fortnum's reputation was built on supplying quality food, and saw rapid growth throughout the Victorian era. A venture into the US in the 1930's ended in failure, with the company's flagship store on Madison Avenue closing almost as soon as it opened. Though Fortnum's developed into a department store, it continues to focus on stocking a variety of exotic, speciality and also 'basic' provisions. It is also the location of a celebrated tea shop.
Fortnum & Mason is famed for its loose-leaf tea and its world-renowned luxury picnic hampers, which the store first distributed to Victorian High Society for events such as the Henley Regatta and Ascot Races. These hampers — which contain luxury items such as Stilton cheese, champagne, Quails eggs and smoked salmon — remain popular today, especially at Christmas time and can cost (as of 2008) anything from £35 up to £25,000."

Shirley Mason (1901-1979) was an American actress of the silent era. She was a sister of Viola Dana. She made her film debut at the age of 10. Between 1910 and 1929, she made more than 110 films.
Shirley Mason was born Leonie Flugrath in Brooklyn, New York, to Emil and Mary (née Dubois) Flugrath. Her father was a printer. She and her two sisters, Edna and Virginia, became actresses at the insistence of their mother. Emil helped out with the process by building his daughters a gymnasium for them to work out and 'train' in. Mason and her sister, Virginia (Viola Dana), made their film debuts at the ages of 10 and 13, respectively, in the film A Christmas Carol (J. Searle Dawley, 1910) for Edison. The film runs 13 minutes and is one of the earliest film adaptations of Charles Dickens' famous 1843 novella. It featured Marc McDermott as Ebenezer Scrooge and Charles S. Ogle as Bob Cratchit. Shirley and Viola appeared as the daughters of Bob Cratchit in the final scene. Mason's next film was The Threshold of Life (Director unknown, 1911) with Mary Fuller. She appeared with her sister Edna in the short, Uncle Mun and the Minister (C.J. Williams, 1912), and appeared with Viola in Children Who Labor (Ashley Miller, 1912) and The Portrait in the Attic (John H. Collins, 1915). As a child actress, Mason was not in high demand. It was not until 1915 that she played the role of the young Becky Sharpe in Vanity Fair (Eugene Nowland, Charles Brabin, 1915). She acted for Edison Studios in 1916, starring in The Littlest Magdalene (Burton George, 1916). In 1917, her career saw a major advance as she was cast in 13 films that year alone, and was given the title role in the film The Awakening of Ruth (Edward H. Griffith, 1917). One of her most well-known roles was as Eve Leslie in the Seven Deadly Sins series (Theodore Marston, Richard Ridgely, 1917). Jessica Keaton at Silence is Platinum: "It started with Envy, then Pride, Greed, Sloth, Passion, Wrath, and finally The Seventh Sin. The last instalment should have been 'Gluttony' but the term was deemed too offensive by the producers, so the title was changed. The same goes for Passion as 'Lust' was considered offensive as well." Mason continued a vibrant acting career through the 1920s, landing substantial parts in films such as Love's Harvest (Howard M. Mitchell, 1920), The Lamplighter (Howard M. Mitchell, 1921), and Very Truly Yours (Harry Beaumont, 1922). In 1929, she appeared in her final role in The Flying Marine (Albert S. Rogell, 1929), along with Ben Lyon and her sister Viola Dana.
The Flugrath sisters were a talented trio, and all three graced the cinema with their silent films. Edna Flugrath was the eldest daughter, born in 1893, and was the only sister to maintain her original name upon entering the film business. Virginia, who later changed her name to Viola Dana, was born in 1897, followed by the youngest, Leonie, who one day became Shirley Mason. The mother of the Flugrath sisters was the one who first dreamed of their stage careers and, at a very young age, had them enrolled in dance classes. The sisters spent much of their childhood touring with companies at Coney Island, Elks Clubs, and other venues. Eventually, their mother's efforts paid off; all three sisters were hired by Edison Studios. Viola met her husband, John Collins, at Edison, and the young director and actress became a successful husband-wife team. Edna also met her future husband, Harold Shaw, at the Edison Studios, and when he went to the UK in 1913 to direct at the London Film Company. Edna accompanied him; however, they did not marry until 1917 when they were producing films in South Africa. Shirley had appeared in several films and had met her future husband, Bernard Durning. Durning was a fellow actor and also director, and although eight years her senior, the two were married in 1917 when Mason was only 16 years old. Mason and Durning enjoyed a very happy marriage, with his directing films back East, and Shirley acting in them. All was well until 1923, when Bernard Durning reportedly drank some tainted water while working on a film in Brooklyn and got typhoid fever. He died, leaving 22-year-old Shirley a widow. Mason was remarried once more in 1927 to director Sidney Lanfield. The two remained married until Lanfield died of a heart attack in 1972. In 1979, Shirley Mason died of cancer in Los Angeles. She was interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park. Like her sisters, she never had children.

To freeze some of the action I use a slight fill from an off-camera flash setup.
