staying on topic

making this textile related :) the wonderful red kanoko shibori sari worn by an indian lady  at the parc cervantes yesterday.

i did not miss this year's rose festival and despite the clouds it was a great spectacle. including the gorgerous indian ladies in their colorful saris who have become a tradition in their own.

i specialised in macro photography this year so pop over here to see the rose album. no photofun, everything's straight up except for some levels adjustment. 

tomorrow the irises.

aaand it's blue!

insourcing my available  natural dyed silks. blues

are ai of course, the mauves are murasaki yellows come from pomegranate and the yellow green is carrot tops. the rasperry is brazilwood. yellows and yellow green were too yellow for the warp and the lighter murasaki didn't do anything for the warp.

the darker one would have been a dream, but i was afraid not to have enough for the warp.it all boiled down to the rasperry brazilwood dyed silk and the blues. the red didn't quite cut it either maybe too warm?

how can i resist blue?

so  it's lift off here and we have blue.what i really like is that it's a verigated blue and will add a lot of interest to the cloth.
