My Creativity Resolution

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple

What are rug hookers saying about The Wool Palette?


“I LOVE palette dyeing.  It is so fabulous.  The technique is the best. Once you know the process, it's hard to go back to ‘just’ dyeing. It is amazing how the colors in my rugs flow and blend together when using wool dyed with this method.”  Cynthia Bell, Author of the rug hooking blog Crescent Lane Hooker www.crescentlanehooker.blogspot.com

“I’m totally addicted to Palette Dyeing!  I'm creating my third palette now.” Lucy Richard, Rug Hooking Daily

"I've begun creating my own palette dyed wool. The techniques are easy to follow, and the possibilities for creating wonderful colors immense. I've written an endorsement on my own blog http://cotton-eyed-jo.blogspot.com/2010/08/knocked-my-socks-off.html, I'm so delighted with the book. If you haven't tried graduated strip dyeing, it might seem overwhelming on a first read. But her clear directions make it easy for you to work your way through the graduated strip process with a formula you love, you'll have that favorite color in 8 intensities. :) April has done all the organizing, and shares generously techniques that took a reluctant dyer(me) to an entirely different place!" Jo Leland, Cotton-Eyed Jo Blog and Lulu Review

"This is a comprehensive walk through the process of dyeing your own wool palette. Step-by-step, the directions are clear and accompanied with photos of the process, as well as the outcome. There are charts to help you document your own adventures in dyeing. I know I will refer back to this book again and again. It's a very user-friendly guide and full of beautiful photos of April's own work." Lurie McAdow, Lulu Review
