Window Rock, AZ We had a wonderful day at Canyon de Chelly.  We took the half day tour and then met Spider Rock Girls Emily Malone, Alyssa Malone and Laramie Blake at the Thunderbird Lodge for lunch.  Emily brought along some of the rugs she and the other girls had just finished abd several are going home with our students.  Emily still has the Ye’i rug in the picture below and it’s priced at $700.  Contact Emily for more information.  No, she wasn’t standing as close the edge of the canyon as it looks in the picture.

We’re off to do natural dyes with Rose Dedman in the morning.  I can’t believe that tomorrow is Thursday!

    kathleen higham: I'd like to join with you when it starts again!

    Mary Walker: The Munsell color system was developed to provide a precise numeric description of color based on hue, value or lightness and color purity (referred to by Munsell as chroma). This precision is helpful in mixing dyes to achieve the desired results. There is a Munsell study group on Weavolution.com, but I was too busy teaching right now to join. I hope there will be enough people interested to do another group later this year. If you haven't already joined Weavolution, I'd encourage you to do it. The current study group is called the Munsell+dye study group.

    Emmy: I'm curious now. What is a Munsell group? Thanks Emmy
