the madders

trying to recover these over heated silk skeins. when scouring i let the pot boil ,as a result the luster said bye,bye.then dyed the dull babies with madder, nothing to lose.color came our nice ,dashed to my AI bestie and she recommended some remedies. the acid bath followed by hair conditioner worked to a certain extent.some of the luster came back ,at least it's not a dull silk skein. 

a new recycle project, the pink threads are composition guides.

this is another knitted silk sample. such a luxurious substrate  ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )

the fruit at the markets also showed the weather and climatic stress

the language of textiles

love how two twills talk among themselves, one goes to the right, another seems to float over it in a point moving towards the left. something only a textilian would enjoy.

this second warp is coming to an end this week.however this week is kind of funky.there's an institution here called the bridge.it's a long weekend or a two day holiday that like a bridge it covers a span of space-time and you end up with a 4-5 day holiday. we just had one, still today it's technically a holiday.there is another big one coming up in a couple of weeks then all of a sudden it's xmas.

back to textiles. love how the stamping seems to recede and make itself prominent according to the  weave structure.the final part is a tabby which will receive a transfer,this time on the already woven surface.

already planning how to use all the dyed silks.
