visual pun

Natural dyes with a street and parked motorcycles as background.Get it?
The silk skein was alum mordanted and put into a diluted pomegranate solution and the photo was taken after 24 hours.i have visions of shiboried scarves floating in the liquid.Just a matter of time.

The warp hasn't made significant progress,i managed to tie about 100 threads yesterday.My cop out for yesterday was a long due visit to the hair salon for a desperately needed haircut.Do not tell me it isn't an impeccable excuse :)

strutting along

Reached the halfway mark, although my house has never been so clean, have never been taken so many nice photos, my Flickr never so organized. Have 2 mordanted silk skeins to dye in the pomegranate soup.
Creative and efficient procrastination is what i've developed :)
Still, i want one of these.

i'm curious

Yellow!! When i took the sample out of the pomegranate soup after two days it was taxi cab yellow. Some color washed off, but it is still pretty vivid.Next step will be mordanting some silk yarn with alum and leaving it for 2 days as well.
Weavingwise i managed to finish tieing on the first chain in all of its 300 knots.Amazing the strategies used to combat boredom. Like chanting gray-blue, blue gray in mantra fashion to keep the order on each layer as if i suffred from Asperger's syndrome .C' mon people, i need a pep crew!

We are having a 5 day bank holiday until Tuesday.Anybody wants to move to Spain?

Have a lovely weekend!
