The horse started as a blank white piece of fabric which she painted and then did more thread painting on top. The larger quilt includes some intersting over/under 3D imagery with the 'ribbons' of thread. She rotates through hanging these and many others on our walls.
We also have some other paintings and sculptures done by our friends which are boxed up until we finish our new home.

Now is my big ask. Please consider sharing pictures of the art you have at home!

I'm thinking you're probably using a more natural type of dish soap, if not check your brand on the internet and see where it stacks up on the toxic scorecard.

Yep, I'm scent sensitive and chemical sensitive as well. It's Eco ___? Get it by the gallon at my coop. A gallon lasts us about 6 months and it's used every day.
I suppose that's another "use less" idea right? Buy what you can in bulk!
If you're not scent sensitive and you have to have shampoo, you can buy (or used to be able to) shampoo concentrates at Sally's by the gallon. It's how beauty shops get their shampoo, or was. My scent sensitivity showed up just around the time of "aromatherapy" and every damned one at Sally's was perfumed when I ran out of my old stuff, so I haven't bought any shampoo concentrate in > a decade !
