LOL! I just looked over yesterdays post. That inch of "snow" under the snow should have said ice! That's what happens when I try to muti-task. I know better than to talk on the phone while trying to type.


Below is what is shaping up to be a series. Working title of :Study in Orange". I have one more I want to make, maybe a few more.

Spring flowers. Notice the snow out the window.




8 am this morning. About 2" on the ground. There is about an 1" of snow under the snow.


4 pm tonight.



Poor trees, they are so loaded.



About 10" now and still coming down.

Been busy

Really, I have been. The first 3 photos are another drop cloth. I'll add a few more layers, and see what happens.





This piece was a failed potato dextrin resist. I attempted to do this when the temperature was too cold for the dye to batch. A couple more layers and it should be an interesting piece.




These 2 are a piece I bound resisted. The circular design is from a shower floor drain. I find the most interesting tools at Lowes/Home Depot.



The piece is now backed and batted waiting for its' turn on the machine. I think I'll call it "Color My World".

I put this one together last night. I dyed up some cotton sateen and dupioni silk a few days ago. Loving the bright colors. No name yet. It is on the machine waiting for me to get off here.


Had to run to Home Depot Sunday to pick up a new dryer hose for my girlfriend. They bought a new house last week, and being the friends we are we "volunteered" to help them move. Anyhow, I wandered through the contractor area and found these 12" pieces of rebar. They were already beginning to rust, so of course they had to come home with me. I've laid them out in a star burst pattern. If the pattern turns out the way I hope I'll be picking up some more of these to print yardage.

Yep, more fabric

Well here it is after rinsing, washing and pressing. I was pleasantly surprised to see more yellow/blue than I thought would come through. I is now hanging in the garage waiting for step two. I prepped 5 screens tonight. I hope they have dried in time for me to do the next step by tomorrow.






I really should be spending some time putting listings up on my store. I did manage to get some yardage pressed and photographed. These are a couple of the yummy blue/blacks I over-dyed a few days ago. The purple/blacks are waiting on the pressing table. Maybe I'll get ambitious and list these in the morning. We'll see.....




Thought I'd leave you with this shot. That's Mr. Wonderful checking out what was supposed to be the granddaughters' Christmas present. As you can see by the date it will not be happening until next Christmas. I was very hesitant about sending her as she will have silk roving for hair. I plan for it to be waist length. The roving will pull apart if played with too much. I think I will need to redesign the hair. Good thing I have until December!
