BILL SWORD operates a Lucky Logger with a Trail Maker attachment In Anderson Park. Sword used the demonstration machine from Schetky Equipment to rid the park area of some stumps. The trail maker attachment has a wheel with blades attached to it that chop a Into sm all pieces. The attachment is used mainly for clearing logging roads of small brush and trees but did a quick job on the stumps. This stump was approximately three feet high and spread out to about four feet at the base, the m a chine had It leveled in about 12 minutes. Sword do nated his tim e and the machine. The lanolin-rich wool is carefull • washed and re washed, avoiding the chemical treatments used b\ most manufacturers which rob wool of its “life.” In the various processes, Sue uses hand-made tools—many crafted by her hus band after original museum nieces on display at the Oregon Histori cal Society. Natural dyes produce an amaz ing array of colors, and Sue’s unusual talents in this area are reflected in the varied hues of her wools. Onion skins., walnut shells, rhubarb leaves, goldenrod, scotch broom, the tansy weed—even the hard-to-get madder roots have found their way into Sue’s “gar den” of colors. The dyed skeins are then ready for work—to be woven on Sue’s loom, knit, or crocheted—resulting in one of a kind articles for wear or decoration. Sue Iliinsky can be seen spin ning her natural dyed wools at the Vernonia Friendship Jamboree on Saturday, July 29. from 11 a m. to 1 p.m. Mrs. Iliinsky will be offering classes in spinning, weav ing and carding at Portland Com munity College this fall. WOOL ARTIST Susan Iliinsky demonstrates her craftsmanship with the spinning wheel and wool. Mrs. Iliinsky will give demonstrations during the Vernonia Friendship Jamboree. Mrs. Iliinsky is part of the group of artists and craftsmen that Portland Community College is sending to the Jamboree.
