Time with a Friend

I spent most of today with my friend, Melissa. I got to her house about 9:20, & we mixed several colors of fiber-reactive dyes, some hers, some mine. We dyed some silk scarves, ate lunch, then logged on the computer to join a webinar training session from Scholar Chemistry. We spent 1.5 hours training to present some workshops for Scholar. We will present 2 on Oct. 23 in Galveston, and 4 at CAST (Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching) in Houston Nov. 11-13. Great fun for us! We love working together, whether it's tie-dyeing or doing science experiments. We also learned we will be paid to work in Scholar's booth at CAST, so our day was a good one. I tie-dyed 5 scarves, shibori-ed another, & then dyed 2 baby items, too. Melissa had 5 scarves on the shibori pole & dyed them, then tie-dyed 6 more. We both tried out new color combinations, and just enjoyed our day all around.
