hisashi buri

aka long time no see. proper vat with proper dyeing.

nice itajime ppractice warm up.still wet but promising.

an act of self control,things you learn during confinement. ( -_・)?

aching to unwind and unbundle, but holding back for more dips.the ai gods are cooperating so might as well go with the flow and try to produce the darkest blue.

more blues

not only the dyeing, but also the conversation is priceless.

 have a good weekend.

notes on the blues

left: 3 dips, middle: 5 dips right: 7-8 dips.






the silk skeins started with a cochineal dye, then proceeded into the ai vat.the morale of the story is that if you want a very dark blue start with magenta.
i know, i know that the japanese get this color, but bear in mind that they are masters and that they use sukumo fermentation  vats. a different big league ball game.
