These photos represent her work with regional plant & vegetable dyes. They are gorgeous! 
Though she'll deny it, she is also a master spinner. 

Notes starting at far right & then spiraling clockwise from the center: 

The plant specimen on the right is the common Night Shade. The variation of colors she obtained with it are due to the different mordants the various sample yarns were soaked in prior to the dye bath.
