Our Domestic Scientist has been on hiatus the last few weeks.  The beginning of the school year is always a whirlwind, and this year is no exception.  I've been at work sewing and dyeing.  For the past six months I've been working on a large scale installation piece for the project window at  Harbourfront Centre in Toronto.  I just installed the piece, The Fruit Cellar of Miss H... on Friday.  Here are a few detail shots of the pieces.  Photos of the installation to follow soon.
