The Number of Blue



800 Feet of Laundry Line
500 Clothes Pins
100 Gloves
45 Blue Aprons
40 Students
20 Garden Sticks
7 Vats
5 Helpers
2 Editors
1 Dye Master

We did it! We sold out of our Woad Workshop to be held this coming Saturday in Elysian Park - praying for clear skies and dry ground, we plan to spend eight hours in the park learning about the medieval plant that has been brought 5,870 miles from the South of France to Los Angeles! Now if we can just try to dye the 14 different shades of blue - we'll have a wonderful day!

A wonderful, magical day indeed! I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to turn my hands blue, meet other like-minded women and fall in love with a plant.

Thank you Kaari, Denise, Miriam (sp?) and all the others who helped. The Woad Workshop rocked!!
