yards and yards

seems like occupational therapy, which is more or less what it is. have gathered less than a third of the total and it it not tight yet, just gathered.the color is nice and soft, but thinking that after tightening i'll dunk it again in brazilwood to pump it a bit before painting mordants to shift the color. problem is ( remember when there were problems and not issues?) that i'm traveling to the states due to family issues(irony intended) and won't be around to check the pot.even sun dyeing needs  to be watched.

posting will be irregular during this week as i'm rushing to get things done before leaving. it will hopefully be resumed from my sister's provided there are textile news.

not much textiles

happening. its cold again. very cold, even snowed in the pyrenees.and wet and gray. i'm beta testing the new seamless studio application at color lovers. i and many others. so basically these are what i'm doing. these and the annual med check ups. and in this kind of weather. yes, i'm cranky.

i can do plastics-the end

 while waiting for the colors to develop plastics is  finally  finished.it has developed into quite a baroque piece, but i like the contrast between the glittery plastic, the organza and the ribbon. all different degrees of sheerness and gleam.

took a walk this morning while waiting for the alginate to thicken and the jacarandas are lovely. just had my cell phone but tried some photos.will have to upload the photos to my photo blog if they are acceptable.
the alginate is part of the experiment for  painting fabric with natural dyes.

 over the weekend  tried this  sans the men helpers and the huge mallets. had romantic ideas about making my own mochi from scratch. HA! going the prepared flour route  instead.
