I did play with more dyes yesterday! I mixed sapphire and purple and you can see that it is a more on the blue side. That is OK. I still love it and am pretty proud of myself!!!! Mostly for just following through instead of adding to my intention shelf! But what lesson did I learn? Do not throw the silk in with the wool! The result is similar to when you leave a tissue in your jeans pocket and run through the washing machine. I've labeled the kind of wool each is. And this particular wool I got from jamielyncohoon on Etsy. I really love Romney wool, but the targhee -oh man! I just want to wrap up in it an take a loooonnnnggg nap! Particularly since I have been waking up at 3:30am lately. I hear this is the norm for 40+ ???? As I was dragging into a meeting this morning, a friend noticed the fatigue. When I said insomnia she said "Oh - 3:30?" How did you know? She said that was "the time" and that's when the Spirits are talking. Never heard of this. Have you? I wish they could chat with me, say 10am, over coffee.

ReplyDeletethe dye work is gorgeous!! that color is really beautiful... i must go to your shop to see if i can work some of these into my designs... :0)
Love the colours, so rich. I'm a 4 am girl myself.So it's the spirits talking, eh? Well they should sleep in at least 3 days a week.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! The spirits need a different time to visit! This has passed for me (right now). I gave up caffeine. It is not fun but the sleep is nice!
ReplyDeleteMan, I am so with you on the time. I managed to sleep in 'til 5:20 a.m. on a Sunday morning, no less. It's what happens when you get inspired ... can't seem to rest a moment!
