Is it my imagination or is a certain famous brand of crayons seriously lacking in pigment these days?
Maybe it's the smoothness of the paper in my
Picadilly but there are three or four layers of color here trying to reach for the kind of intensity I like best.
Still, this one was enough to ring the bell and remind me that life is short and since when did ever I wait for perfect anything, especially when it comes to dyeing fabric.
The first load is in the washer getting prepped with Dawn and tomorrow it will go into the soda ash solution for at least a 24 hour soak. Saturday, I'll go with the colors on hand, fresh mixed and if it's not warm enough I'll be bagging stuff into a black trash bag greenhouse.
I almost forgot, "
Hope Rising" is home safe from the exhibit and I have a page in
this book.

Phooey! I want to see page 60 and the books web page only shows the first 15 pages. How about posting a picture of your quilt? Pretty please ... with chocolate.
