Yes, it was.  It was a peplos, shawl, and belt.  Lots of fun to do.

I wish I had seen that - I LOVE those sorts of entries.  Even though they are not
a specific piece of art work per se, the information gained from doing an entry
like that can be just phenomenal.  At this point, "process entries" like that are
my personal favorites.

Yes, she did that one with Gwynno.  It made all the natural dye people who saw it
very happy <g!>.  Is Gwyneth on this list?  I talked to her awhile back about
digging that back out and reshowing it, but she wasn't sure how well the samples
had survived.  I hope she'll check it, and bring it back out if it's still in good
condition.

That one I don't remember - what was it?
