bringing things to the front

from the mythical backburner. these assorted silk scrap ensemble has been shuffled around for many moons.all of a sudden a what if moment happened ; print puff paste all over the right panel?  although subtle it brings it all together as it echoes the texture of the left panel.

now the question is whether to do some stitching or not.the left side is more than less defined. 

this is fun stuff no serious intentions, kind of occupational therapy until next dyeing batch.mulling over the weaving design for those dyed skeins.

the japanese way

more akane processing for the second dye layer.think that after this batch will need some more fresh matter because the browns might statr coming out.this is a looong process, but if results are good there is going to be no turning back.(doesn't this sentence sound awkward ?)

this is the second mordant layer,then rinse and dye.

i'm also going to start on the benibana.aiming to learn and understand it.

happy international workers day. already may!
