despite the heat or maybe because of it this year's vat behaved like no other.have yarns to keep me weaving through the winter months.

don't really mind all the blues as it is my favorite color.
have to think on the accent color now.
there's even an ikat warp chain. the red is cochineal.

everyday for the past week i see this poster on the tree in front of my building. it's announcing the patron's- our lady of mercy-la mercè day festivities which hail the official end of summer here. every year an artist is commissioned to do the poster and this year it was sean scully, our newest illustrious neighbor.

woe brings opportunities

my plastic vat started leaking-note the floor and i went into panic.urgency directed that i had to make do with what i had in hand; a spare a big terracotta plant pot. now look for something to plug into the hole-a port cork!
after much washing it came out stained, but ok. now the liquid transfer no matter how there was going to be oxigen added.
let it rest. then add some more water, alkali, hydro some more reduced indigo and heat it. let it rest one day.

a good vat once again.
a new career opened up for me; stress management coaching. ☆ *: o(≧▽≦)o :*☆











neki desu

of happy accident and good vats

simple itajime, wanted lots of white.

but then this happened. a fortuitous pin created a line of rusted dots.

 pleased with the outcome of this. slow tying but well worth it.

next:

experiments with adapted kitano technique.

this vat is really amazing ; good color,good smell, it even takes a bit of accidental dripping without acting up.





neki desu

to be enjoyed

because you deserve it.
have a great weekend.
