toys


not really, they are mixing colors from the caran d'ache neocolorII series.there was this sale at a supplier i usually go to in the uk. they have it together, did their homework after the brexit and purchases are seamless.
on the left next to the crayons the colors, next two  columns color mixes.still need to do more mixes, but the fun has to be controlled  <( ̄︶ ̄)> 




testing them with acrylics on a gelli plate print.too bad the paper tore because the paints worked well together.










another test on fabric on the right mimicking the weave.this is a no-go weaving from the warp from hell.tired, bored and mad at the linen breaking non stop.ordered cottolin, which is not my fave, and waiting for the arrival.much better than the aggravation and abandonment of the project bcse of warp breakage.
my to go warp was a beautiful hemp yarn that unfortunately was finished and can't find replacement.
 

waiting for the cottolin to cut and tie the warp and get on with the weaving.
moving on tomorrow is the eclipse the hype is stifling.bit the dust and made a 2 hour queue to get the officially eu apposed glasses handed out by the city hall. will report.

outcome


final stage in shibori.


development: second stage.bonus  my beloved japanese brushes in the photo.
the one in the foreground qualifies as an antique, bought on my first trip to japan. expensive,but with proper care they last a lifetime .
 


 

the shikon dyed a much darker value than expected, almost brown  see first photo 
\  (  ツ )  /
shikon is extremely sensitive to heat and ph. even with distilled water there are surprises.
getting the hang of the dye.
