my dears, as cole porter would say...

top color


actually this is gershwin's. but i 'm partial to porter and he'd be more into color than gershwin.
and this is my blog.period :D

light budounezumi ,the color that gave me the draft. still murasaki but leaning towards the red because of the half lime fruit in the  dye liquor . this skein was heated and acquired a slight brownish overcast.
note to self: forget about heat, even if colors take a lifetime.

and while on the subject of liquor i'm starting a wine tasting couse this afternoon. but then again wine is not liquor. it is a whole culture.

intellectual excitement

murasaki top

big time.
after reading this i started thinking. i have a tendency of going  in many directions at once. my problem is that i lack  the proverbial box to think .
this methodology of designing would neatly fit all present ideas in one compartment. the weaving, the look i want for the cloth, the recent dyeing and the colors i'm getting. not to mention the digital works.
can't really ask for more!

i took one of the murasaki colors and treated it following Alice's method and you can see the image. it is much more satisfactory than the one i had previously developed  using a fractal image because the repeat is  less distinctive.
 right, i was able to combine the recent dyeing and future weaving but i uncombined the fractals i had been working with and the future weaving. can't win them all.  that said, the method of working with colors and dithering them or applying noise or blur opens up a new front of  exciting design possibilities.

which one do you like best, the fractal  derived or this new one? pray thee tell.
have to get back to tying knots if i want to weave.
