At 12.30 it still had lots of snow covering my fabric.
This was how it looked at 6.00
And the results . . . . . . . . . . well, you can see from the picture below, some were quite delicate in colour but the blue/ purples were stronger. Denise from Craft Arena is going to have a go at snow dyeing using the instructions from QA, issue 41, page 62. I have got the article out to read in bed tonight. Depending on how her colours take, I might try this method on Sunday, as yet MORE snow is forecast.
I have also been decorating my sketchbook cover as it was looking a bit shabby.
I now need to finish painting in the flowers.
This is one panel of the the vessel painted and ready for embellishment.
When I did my sampling I liked the tied button centres best. 
I was going to Craft Arena today to talk to Denise about doing some workshops there. As it was so icy I had to cancel, it also meant that I couldn't get some Evalon. I have ordered some and I will pick it up tomorrow hopefully. In the meantime, I needed to get on with my vessel. Another rummage in my fabric chest and I found a piece of silk- just long enough. So I am now going to start joining all the pieces together.
