baby doo-doo



yep, that's the color in the pot  from the lichens. the dyed wool skein wasn't any  better
plain and b-o-r-i-n-g beige after the effort.


luckily there were some jars with brazilwwod steeping in alcohol from last summer!

on to overdyeing.
the color is much more satisfying, a muted claret.i used sodium bicarb as an alkali modifier because it is milder than washing soda. it seemed to work as color modifier. 


 turning a page. i've been moving some of my photos to ipernity. just this morning i discovered that in order to share your photos you have to be a paying member   (o|o)  ($_$) (ò_ô) 
oh well, there's still picasa and photobucket! 
if what really annoys  you from flickr is the layout and you can cope with the present slowness a good solution:
download and install destroy flickr. at least you can customise the way you view not only your photos, but also your contacts and faves. and you do not have to camp  out in front of the computer waiting for those huge photos to  show up.

yet one more page turn. how do you like the new look of this blog? did you notice?

yet another change of heart

yesterday i finished mordanting the linen odd shaped shrug. it was an alum tannin -alum mordant to be then dyed with the vintage lichen brew. the resulting beige is very close to natural unbleached linen  and i liked the result so much that it is staying as is. a glimpse of  before  whiter than white here .
 the above; blocking with my other than standard blocking board. using styrofoam that came in the box with the new computer until i get downtown to buy a more adequate piece of styrofoam.
