sourcing from the stash

 for a weave. silk dyed in walnut and i believe chesnut water.the blues were a gift from a dear friend.

think i'll also use the akane dyed silk.plan is something simple to highlight the yarn colors.

have to decide on the structure but it needs to be simple, notice the operative word again, as it will be on the table loom. the dobby is still with the dead warp on bcse gutless me can't bring herself to cut it, trash it and liberate the loom.

the last hellebores.they were white but this year they came out pink.not complaining.

it's a holiday here so happy may day to all!

persistence, is it a virtue?

or is it stupidly dumb? i persist in knitting a decent wearable sweater with no luck when i should concentrate in artsy-fartsy knits that are no problem for me. plus i have tons of knittable images and good colorful cottons. yet i persist.

monoprints. they have become receptacles for frustration. they are fun and make me feel adequate and productive. i give importance to discussing these facts bcse on line lives look as if no one ever faced neither failure nor deception. and as we know  perfection in life is simply bs. it does not exist. for one fleeting perfect moment one has to endure a life  of imperfection.

we're not buddha.

new sew

gorgeous crinkle silk from the barcelona time frame. a now defunct, as many other, fabric store which carried remnants of high end fabrics from italy. an opportunity to source gorgeousness for next to nothing.those were the days. the pattern is another simple japanese one. i understand front, back,cut. the rest google translate on mobile. one has to live dangerously.   (￣ω￣ )
