processing

the scarf was unwound, didn't want to try my luck. and there's going to be bad weather for the rest of the week;that means no vat until it clears.

the cochineal has lost some punch during the aizome so it needs further processing. here  it has been primed with soy milk which will be left to cure for a couple of days at least. then the cochineal parts will be painted over with cochineal ink. stay tuned.

not only this

but i am also going to have wonderful cotton thread for stitching! even the polyester-shudder, shudder- rag at the bottom has dyed well.

the vat is going so very well that i am tempted to keep dipping this.better not tempt fortune, judicious me says.

i am working on two cotton gauze items to be dyed soon. life is good.
