lying low
taking it easy, doing low impact work and very little computer. got inspired to do some dyeing using onion skins. the silk bourette knit was scoured and mordanted in alum and then dyed. the color turned out fierce, but i'm planning to overdye with ai, inspired by susan 糸で( ito de).
having fun imagining the outcome. stitching a second piece from the annotations series and the cloth on the loom is finally done!!!!! wet finishing today.
the weather's changing.cold front ahead.

the internet sisterhood
thank you all for your good wishes, made me feel accompanied in my predicaments. the incredible deb lacativa sent me this link with a simple exercise which cured my discomforts. i can now wait for my appointment with the osteopath without feeling miserable.amazing how such a simple, absolutely non invasive treatment can be so effective. look ma, no pills!
some stitching being done and lots of other activities that imply head down. like giving a go to the knitting machine.finished the silk bourette scarf above and i'm waiting for dyeing inspiration for a shibori dye number.
and the while waiting :) found this one that was stopped after it grunged out, meaning dropped stitches and holes.then tried the ai vat last summer and came out less than satisfactory.
it was already so grungy that a bit more wasn't going to make a big difference.so i jumped on the bandwagon of wrapped leaves and stuff. and something always comes out of that. it's a good size sample so let's see where or how it ends.
can't stretch computer time too much or i start getting discomfort signals. off i go before signals become pain.
