never tiring

 

although somewhat on the tourist track it's still fascinating to visit.

of heat and dyes

my bestie aka AI directed me to fig leaves bcse i asked one day while i was walking in the park.

collected some following instructions to wear gloves as the latex is highly irritant. i was doing 3 things at once while processing the leaves so they boiled over (⋋__⋌)

my bestie is cool,but you need to know your business and not accept things at face value. the recommendation of using  cream of tartar on silk is a huge no-no.

result not lime green, but a yellowy olive. not an ugly color, but not what i wanted.

back to leaf picking.

cool extraction and no heat dyeing. the color is more like it.since i'm dyeing with no heat it's going to take some days to get the color.i can wait.

nothing like time

having it that is.  finally organized all the dyeing material, 5 bins and i have a dye studio shared with some yarns  (￣ω￣ )  i actually need about 2 more meters to be comfortable, but life is made of trade offs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
