A CSX unit sand train sits dead in Dyer Siding on the Monon Subdivision with a SD50-2 and a GP40-2 for power
Q642 is coming right at you trying to get off the Monon Sub before the southbound Amtrak shows up. He's seen here crossing the old Michigan Central diamonds in Dyer, IN. Those are the ex EJ&E tracks in the background. Looks like SD50 8542 has lost at least one of its original number boards.

This polypore grows on rotting roots and logs and appears to come out of the ground. The common name “Dyer’s polypore” is based on the use of this polypore to dye fabric.

My wife and I went down to Dyers Creek Nat'l wildlife refuge today, and although I didn't really get a good bird picture like I wanted to, I knew I had to get a telephoto of this fella fishing. I really like this edited version too. I tried to better show the line and lure being cast to that spot where the fish just came up for it's dinner.
Hope you guys enjoy.
this is what came from dyeing with 1270 gr. Goldenrod....picked last year and been in the freezer this winter.....
The dyeing proces 1-7 is cronological and taking up the dye from this big Goldenrod bath untill I don´t want to use it more...and I don´t want to make very pale yellows so the woolyarn far left is the latest dyed....
From right....
1. a small pice of wool that was dyed by using the very first of the Goldenrod bath...but I took some of it when the bath were cooled down and put into a small container on its own...and it was there for some days - a kind of cold dyeing....
2. My husband dyed the big round ball of wool.
3. Linen yarn dyed after been dyeing number 2.
4. Then I dyed some wool yarn...
5. and then rolled onto a tube is some elmbark, that I then dyed...
6. another linen yarn.
7. My last wool yarn dyed with this soup of Goldenrod.
the two pieces of cloth seen above is from right...pure cotton dyed with Goldenrod and at the left it is cotoon/linen mix dyed with Goldenrod...the cloth was dyed back in 2016....a periode where i did my first dyeing experiences with plants....
My new Tap & Dye camera strap arrived today. It's a great strap, and what an amazing presentation! Rarely has the packaging of an item ever struck me like this one. A big shout out to the folks at Tap & Dye!

Dyer Kiln, Bellevue, Michigan.
The Kiln, one of the first limestone kilns in Eaton County, was used for burning limestone in the preparation of cement in the late 19th century. The Dyer Kiln was built in approximately 1880 and ran until 1899.

Here's our tie-die shirts in the middle of the process. We went to a tie-dye session the other day at a fellow homeschooler's house, and had so much fun, we decided to give it a go on our own. I think it will take a few more rounds to reach tie-dye perfection, but the kids had a great time!

I have been dyeing with onion skin, vinegar and iron....
the cloth used here is all the same...from a curtain i had cut off to make it shorter...nice cotton...it has been washed before doing anything with it.....the piece in the front is the biggest...14 cm. x 60 cm...and i have rolled it with onionskins and tied it tight with some cottonstring....
from left...the first two has been rolled tight together...and as an experiment i put some plant from the meadow inside...3 leaves from the ground and some long needles from a pinetree....(and those didn´t do anything to it but leave some not so nice tiny dots of dark grey color in it...the best on these two pieces are those greenish parts, where it has been tight up with the strings..as you can see at the end of the first piece of cloth at the left...
The white is just to show how the cloth was from start...
The darkest piece was mordanted/coloured with oak bark and this can be seen behind it...this is the darkest i have made yet...and I feel very pleased by it...I have been mordanting some cloth in red alder bark , and it still is in the pot...but it is very much filled with tannin and that should be the ingriedience for the mordanting part and it should work so well with an ironpot....so I´ll see what happens...hope it works well and make darker colours too....a nice dark warm brown would be very nice....cross my fingers.....
Dyeing with Elderberries, February 2009
Sunday September 7, 2008
Van and I picked the elderberries in September. Half were used then, the other half frozen.
Friday February 27, 2009
Put the frozen elderberries in the dyepot to soak, then simmered them for about 2 hours. Left them overnight to steep and cool.
Saturday February 28, 2009
Simmered the berries for another hour.
Skimmed the scum off the top with mystery roving.
Strained the berries and liquid through an old cut up sheet.
There was about 20 cups of dye liquid in the pot. I split this up and put 10 cups into two dye pots.
Yarns and Fibre used:
Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 worsted weight - 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, 4 skeins
Superwash BFL roving - 250g
Tussah Silk roving - 30g
Kid Mohair / Wool roving - 80% kid mohair, 20% merino, 100g
Fleece Artist Wool and Silk - 50% merino, 50% silk (probably bombax), 2 x 50g hanks
The cascade yarns may have already been mordanted with Alum and Cream of Tartar. I'm not 100% sure of this. If they were then they had 10% Alum and 5% C.O.T..
I decided to redo the base bath and to do a more neutral bath with copper this time.
Neutral to Acidic Bath
I did not pre-mordant the yarns. I added the mordant directly to the dyebath.
I added more water to bring the dyebath up to 24 cups in total.
Dip 1 - 125 grams of fiber
Mordant - 6.25 grams copper, 6.25 grams alum, 3.13 grams cream of tartar (5% copper, 5% alum, 2.5% cream of tartar)
Fibre
1Cascade 220
2Tussah silk roving
Dip 2 - 200 grams of fiber
Mordant - 10 grams copper, 10 grams alum, 5 grams cream of tartar (5% copper, 5% alum, 2.5% cream of tartar)
Fibre
3Cascade 220
4Kid Mohair / Wool roving
Dip 3 - 150 grams of fiber
Mordant - 10 grams copper, 10 grams alum, 5 grams cream of tartar (5% copper, 5% alum, 2.5% cream of tartar)
Fibre
5Cascade 220
6Fleece Artist Wool / Silk roving
These all gave really nice colours. They all came out in green and brownish green tones. This was a big surprise. Using Alum and COT along give mauve and purple shades. I believe adding the copper gave the greener shades.
There was still a lot of colour in the dyepot, so a fourth dip might have been possible.
Base Bath
I did not pre-mordant the yarns. I added the mordant directly to the dyebath.
I added more water to bring the dyebath up to 24 cups in total. For the first dip I added about 2 tablespoons of backing soda. For the second I added another 5 tablespoons. I didn't add anymore on the third dip.
Dip 1 - 250 grams of fiber
Mordant - 5 grams iron, 5 grams alum, (2% iron, 2% alum)
Fibre
1BFL Superwash roving
Dip 2 - 150 grams of fiber
Mordant - 3 grams iron, 3 grams alum, (2% iron, 2% alum)
Fibre
2Cascade 220
3Fake cashmere (nylon)**
** This did not work. It needs fibre reactive dyes (like cotton), rather than weak acid dyes.
Dip 3 - 50 grams of fiber
Mordant - 1 gram iron, 1 gram alum, (2% iron, 2% alum)
Fibre
4Fleece Artist Wool / Silk roving
Adding the iron has changed the colour to a grayish green blue. The BFL turned into a very nice deep grey. The cascade in the second dip was a nice combination of greys with hints of green, brown and blue. The roving in the third dip was mostly like grey with some darker grey tones.
There was still a lot of colour in the dyepot, so a fourth dip might have been possible.
Skeins on the left
Top - dip 1 neutral
2 middle - dip 2 neutral and base
Bottom - dip 3 neutral
Fibre on right
Top 2 balls - dip 1 in neutral and base
Middle ball - dip 2 in neutral
Bottom 2 balls - dip 3 in neutral and base

16 September 2015
The ankle area under the pencil line was soaked in Winsor & Newton brush cleaner for 1 hour 30 minutes with no discoloration visible when rinsed with water. The dye did in fact come off when I lightly scrubbed with a dry melamine sponge/Magic Eraser.
Duaell was in the dye bath for 7 minutes. Anniki and Ototo were in for 1 minute each. The shoe feet were in for more than one minute as I forgot them while fishing out one of the twins; I only found them when I was emptying the dye. I gently dried the dolls after I pulled them out of the dye as I didn't want the dye to puddle in their crevasses. I will wash them off after they have cooled down.
I will probably paint Duaell's body to match his limbs. I don't know if the color difference in the twins will bother me or not, time will tell.
I am very happy with this experiment. I really don't like Dylan's original skin color. These seem so much better to my eye. Maybe one of the Dylan's can be blue - I love blue dolls :D
Will this rub off? Will it stain their clothes? I'll let you know when I find out !
