It's raining.
I changed my mind about a lot of things yesterday, so there is a new picture here. I lost the little thing I planned to give a way so Poof to that. And all the comments that don't fit to this post anymore.
Have a good weekend, be back Tuesday.
...continued from here...
Still at Mom's.
Couldn't sleep.
Cat in the nine-patch. About 3" square. Or a bit less.
CATchwork.
Zzzzzzzzz .
Dreaming about Whispering Cats.
Just black beans on linen gauze. wrapped between two layers of cloth on a tin can. Copper pot with an old sludge of onion skins and oak twigs. I was thinking if I had less soaking water and more beans I would get a darker blue when it dawned on me what if I just used the beans directly on the cloth. The cold soak didn't do much ( probably didn't wait long enough) but the hot soak, being that I actually needed to build a fire in the studio last night, it worked. Fast. One hour in the pot. Left to cure overnight. Color is deep, dark. blue dots. For now anyway. That was fun. Good. I was in a really bad mood. These were random. Maybe some arranging is in order.
Beans are often tied in cloth to create resist. Maybe we can redefine that.
A little fly away cloth. Started in 101, made its way into Diaries. Another 9 lives patch. Something to stitch at Mom's today.
It is about to get REAL COLD here. I hope some snow comes along with it. Just a little would be nice.
I have updated my newsletter. (up top) I am a little bit slower these days in terms of responding to emails and orders etc. Thanks for your patience. For those who were asking, Spirit Cloth Diaries part 2 is available in the shop now, through Feb 15th. I can't believe that I am 5 months into part one already. Time flies.
