I was looking for something clean to lay them out on and pulled this piece of linen from the wicker tower of what-not. Another large piece of contemporary linen that I don't want to cut up and sell, bit by bit.
I may offer larger dyed pieces in the store. Let the dissection become another person's problem.
Somehow the need for overdyeing leaves me a little cold. As if they weren't good enough the first time. Like being made to repeat 4th grade even though you read years ahead of all your classmates.
I need to adjust my judgements. Dump them in fact.
Perhaps think about how a second pass at color might be incorporated in the first dye session. Hold off on the hasty wrapup and cleanup that's usually a result of my human frailty.
Note to Self..... Go get a cold drink, then lie down with a wet cloth over your eyes in the dark for an hour or so. Give the threads and your eyes a rest.
Then later, come down and look again. Setting up some small containers with magic sauce and a few prime colors to dip or paint on is no big deal. Preventive medicine.

One might also make room for them to breathe…see the perfection in the imperfection…allow them to emerge a they need to…
Ever covered the full table with plastic overnight?????Held down with rocks?
these threads look like sunshine to me -- lots of gold light emanating from them. i would love larger pieces to play with.
