Life is Grand When I am Dyeing!!!

All is right with the world when I am standing at my dye pots.
Many folks can not understand why I do what I do but they will never know the pure joy of creating something with the help of one of your four legged friends. The fiber that is shown on my drying racks is Mohair. This lush fiber came from one of my weathers named "Snow". He is the kindest guy you would ever want to meet. He right now looks horrible in the pasture because of the all the mud and snow but once I sheer him that fiber is washed, dyed and turned into something that is beyond words.
I wished you could be in my studio right now and feel this fiber. He is such a sweetheart and it translate in his fiber. A dream to spin but works just as well in a glas bowl that you can see, feel and dream of the wonders of nature. I will soon be placing this fiber on my etsy account but if you can not wait contact at ggerberlff@aol.com and we will get it to you before the rest of the world has a chance. Don't you wished you had my life?

I love dying! My hands get all funky looking and I can go out afterwards, and people say...did you know your hands were dirty?...and I say, no, they're not dirty, I was born with a rare disease... =)

Love your colors!
