of ramblings

once i finished drafting the dress block i am now immersed in high manipulation in order to get this.
the instructions seem clear, but i don't know with my present knowledge, or lack of it i'll succeed. but hey, she who doesn't risk...  we shall see.

moving on. why is it that drop clothes 

-nerdy term for the cloth in which you cover your table- 

or papers are serendipitously more successful than any purposely painted surface? can't believe the richness of this paper; it begs to be turned into  a piece

 maybe adding a small piece on the side?
some stitching?

moving on further.who says blogs are dead ?now facebook and instagram, not to say twitter: try to better all this rambling. HA!ಠ ಠ

not much to show

slow weaving-2 shuttles and the wool tends to stick somewhat. the repeat is 868  picks and i'm halfway. 30 some centimeters. there's a threading error- see if you can spot it, but i'm going to go along because there's no easy fix for it. except cut and rethread and no señor. the fabric is quite forgiving from a distance and i'll try if possible to minimize it with the pattern placement.

tomorrow i'll do some sewing related stuff so that i don't get obsessed with the error.

how many layers is too many?

more puff paint,but this is somewhat less of a sample more of a sketch.the gold texture is stenciled puff paint on lutradur,painted and zapped with the heat gun.then some stitching and more heat gun. added two layers of  black tulle one with larger holes behind and a very fine whisper of a tulle in front. both were stitched some puff paint added.

this time i used the hairdryer as i wanted to preserve the integrity of the tulle.

this one although still a sketch had to be more thought.

there are 4 layers of lutradur painted,stamped and  machine stitched together .

the last layer is very fine lutradur stamped with puff paint,

then painted and finally zapped to reveal parts of the bottom layers. the puff paint didn't puff so much, but the texture is nice and has definition.

these are in between loom rest sketches actually r&r and by that i don't mean music  ｡^‿^｡

 you can feel even in the city that there's a change; the light,the heat and humidity are almost not bothersome, the plants. in a few weeks a new season will be here.
