FOF08 - Lawrenceville Frankenstein Dyeworx- day 1
All right folks - daylight's awastin'.
I know my awfully early ways aggravated my immediate neighbors at FOF last year but for me, sleeping in is not an option.
As I begin my own studio week, one of the things I'll appreciate is having my assistants close at hand. If I can get the Black dye the way I want it, I will be making some cloth in Karma's honor. Such pretty patterns.
I did this yardage last night while watching the Braves home opening game. No idea what becomes of Sharpie markings through the rest of the dye/discharge process but I'll find out.
The first order of business this morning will be making a big tub of soda ash solution. We are expecting thunderstorms here all day so I'll be inside working the soy wax at the kitchen table. There is also a bundle of cloth, vinegar and rusty frying pans outside that has to be opened and inspected. Is color taking a back seat this year? I dont' think so. Although I have been in a black/grey state of mind for a spell, I'm counting on the dyes to bring me back to myself. C0lor mixing begins later today! Thunder and lightning be damned.

What a marvelous cat! Her coat is spectacular.
I posted your little quilt "Back Street Rental" on my blog today
(8/5/08). Well, it is MY little quilt now. Thanks.
Karma is so beautiful! Much like my sweet Ginger, but in black and white! Ginger is taffy/red and white, with the same fluffy tail. Love it.
