Nik, you are hilarious and so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your eco dyeing experience with us all!

Nik, I'm doing a workshop this week on ecco printing and, even though most of us are using the same recipe for the pre-soak the bath and even the same plant materials, out results are different. It's so much fun to see what comes out of each pot. Our instructor is teaching us different styles of books we can make out of the papers. We're having a great week!

What a fun video! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all those funny cat videos you spent your “down time” watching. I loved the ‘put on real pants’ part too, made me laugh out loud. 😹
