Hi, Jane. 🙂 I’m sorry to have missed the deadline for this. It’s been busy, busy around here. I finally sent off an email to your publisher today to order through them. No matter on the deadline (although I love your artwork and meant to enter). I’m looking forward to having a copy of your poems and your artwork through your book.
Off topic, but maybe not, I thought of you the other night when I steamed some purple cauliflower and the water at the bottom of the pot (under the steam basket) was surprisingly and shockingly GREEN. I was expecting purple. And I wondered… what could I do with this color green? Would it make a good dye for something?

Hi Robin. No fear, your name will be entered for yet another painting, called ‘berries and brambles’. I hope you enjoy my book! As for the dye, I keep a supply of linen squares on hand to try interesting possibilities. The colours will only be colourfast if you use a mordant like alum. Beet juice is the one I like because it is such a nice red. Jane
