still waters run deep

kakishibuwalnutpomegranate

Yes they do Do Wa. Gallery of my natural dye soups. First one is kakishibu which has been fermenting for 2 years, needs three at least.This is a once in a lifetime thing if you're interested in dyeing. Akin to making croissants. Next comes the walnut soup. i'm keeping the hulls in and just adding water as it evaporates. Like having a pot au feu and making soup. Last photo,pomegranates which have been soaking for a week in the balcony getting some weak winter sun, a stratagem so that husband -san doesn't get cardiac foreseeing all the future dyeing activity.
It seems that everybody's involved with the same dyes lately. Sort of a secret sisterhood.

the importance of keeping records

blue shibori scarfblue shibori

One of the universal truths.And it seems i always manage to skip it.This scarf was found this morning. i really like what's happening here, but because of lack of records i cannot duplicate the whole process again.The ori-nui is pretty evident, but what about the rest?
Truly a one of a kind.

Being process oriented, not product driven is the most important and difficult skill for a designer to develop.
