framed

spending time with tyvek and making frames using different techniques. one is stitched and  distressed with a hot iron then painted; the other just distressed and then painted.

these two are ok and they work relatively well with the project. but they don't quite cut it.

it is difficult to have a frame that complements the work and yet sings.

maybe i have to pay a visit to el prado  ;)

more yarn and a project

these beauties are from avril too.the dark one is cotton dyed with kakishibu.

the skeins are paper yarns. have to start thinking about how to use them.

meanwhile back at the knitting machine a project is crystallizing.i am thinking about frames now.

but not your regular frame, mind you. will show bits and pieces because i want to enter in a juried show.

nothing like having yarn to burn

went to the chinese bazaar and bought two 100 gram skeins  of perle cotton size 8 in white and black.

having limitless yarn frees you . you can experiment without being afraid of wasting yarn.

and of course inspiration finds you working. one idea develops into another and another and what if......

some images knit more successfully than others, others are more visually appealing, others read better. the things you learn.

i've learned that for 3 colors in one row you need a ribber.i have one waiting ,but i need to get acquainted with the machine first.three colors will most likely happen in the winter.  looking after my pressure. just saying.
