Shibori Striped Card
La Rosa, inspired from The Legend of the Christmas Rose
Gift Tags with Cranberry Trim
 
The Legend of the Christmas was writen by Rose Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlf (1858-1940) She was a Swedish author and the first woman writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Part of the color in celebration of the season is the blooming of Christmas roses. While a variety of plants over time have come to be called “Christmas Rose”, they all are steeped in a legend that dates back centuries. Sometimes known as the “Snow Rose” or “Winter Rose,” it blooms during the depths of winter in the mountains of Central Europe. Each flower stalk bears a single 2 inch to 4 inch white bloom (often tinged with pink).

Cranberry Dye Experiment 
For the Holidays I experimented with cranberries to create a natural cranberry color. 
The cranberries reduction transformed into a glaze !

Materials:
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 quarter water
stove or heating source
large enamel or stainless steel (not aluminum) pot
study wooden or plastic stirring utensil
cheese cloth
container to collect dye
material to dye

Directions:
1. Combine cranberries and water in the pot.
2. Simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Crush berries and simmer for another 15 minutes.
4. Strain mixture and discard the berries.
5. Add the material to be colored to the dye.
6. Let the material soak in the dye until the desired color intensity is reached.
7. Allow fibers to dry and repeat to reach deeper reds.
