two out, one more in

pleased with the outcome of the walnut dye.i first  simmered the skeins in the liquor for  an hour more or less and then left them in the pot for a week.still thinking about shifting the color a bit with iron.

next skein is already in the pot, no heating though.i know the color won't match, but that's no problem .as i'll be warping with two yarns at a time they will blend nicely.

yesterday i saw some herringbones and i noticed the background color wasn't even.

good thing i'm going away.

geezzz! i am bouncing off the walls, breathless with all the excitement. 

first in the DUH department, i discovered that my vignette mobile-tablet app has the capability of double exposure(among other cool stuff) and been playing with it.the photos come out dream-like and can be further manipulated with soft focuses or/and color changes.

next comes this other discovery: arduino . or how can you create your own hacks at will.you can hack almost everything electronic, looms, knitting machines ( you see where this is going, don't you?) and the rest of whatevers. 

presently it's way above my head, but i learned japanese didn't i? and i taught myself how to set up web pages with a template and use adobe go live didn't i? and i'm teaching myself video editing and....and...

so with time and patience and a little help from my friends - and hopefully the new made ones on the arduino forums-i'll manage.

 as alice says: the lure of transforming pixels into images.

i'll be taking a short blog break. be back next tuesday.
be well and be good.
