the elusive Tazmeena Green
Sweetie was not much help in the search for Tazmeena Green.
It's a color to bask in, mostly.
There were a few that were close, but the color of a cat's eye is like an opal. Are you really seeing that? Take two steps in any directions and it changes.

raw materials
All the new dirty threads are up and the fat baggie scrap basket has been replenished.
I'd like to just sit down and make something but I'm still waiting on those dark cloths to dry and reveal themselves. Then, there's the day job to contend with. Quietly, tonight, it seems.

more changlings
These got left outside in the weather. A clutch of two-inch strips of cotton sheeting ripped up ages ago for some forgotten project. I guess I'll have to wait for them to dry before untangling them to see what's what.
Everything else in that attempt at "darker" was pretty much a fail. Do-overs are easy.

His booster seat in the backseat of my coupe calls for me to climb in and out to secure him. A dozen times by noon with yesterday's errands. This morning I'm just waiting for the drugs to kick in.

composing...
....a new, large work means cutting into pieces that I have been hoarding. Some for many years.
It's time.
The piece wants a lot of darkness so a bunch of things not shown here are headed back down to the dyedeck for some Raven and Deep Space.
This cloth piece will be born under the same stars, as the next book. I'm thinking about both at the same time.

new lights
steel & sky.
more tomorrow, unless the sun comes out so I can finally get in the pool.
The water bill came today. I should have filled it with cheap champagne!
I really have to hunt for the mystery green I need for the next large piece.
Clear and dark with vibrancy, a glow. alien's blood green. The kind of green that's hard to see in full sun.
And some Eyes of Tazmeena green too, may she rest in sweet peace.
One little soul slips away and another steps up.
May little Ezra take up her tenacity.

It's an all day rain.
My favorite kind. Takes me to unknown places out of time. Places to drift and dream in.
This was at 9ish this morning. I had to turn on the lights in the studio. My plans were altered a bit.
There are only a baker's dozen skeins of a new color drying under the lights.
Followup. An intersting experiment. I made a mix with all the new colors. A like amount of each. The pomegranate seems to be dominating which means it has a flash a fuchsia. I have been warned.
The writer got a whole lot of pages edited and I've started to tinker with the idea of cover art, which is much more science than art, I'm learning.
Any doubts about the book's genre? Didn't think so.
You know what aisle you're in.

storm light
Tomorrow, I'll spend some time picking through this. See what jumps out at me, making obscene demands.
Heavy weather predicted for the whole weekend. The colors arrived yesterday so I may be trying something new in the rain on the dye deck.
Sweetie curled around my feet against the thunder.
raven. steel. bronze. deep space. peacock. blueberry. pomegranate. soft orange. goldeneye.
rain, thunder, and lightning.
Should be interesting.

Summertime
Celebrated my wedding anniversary with a good friend. Jim would have approved.
As per tradition, we celebrated two days in a row -June 4th and June 5th - thanks to the judge who got lost coming to do our wedding and who made us come to town hall the next morning to repeat our vows to make it legal.

shop update
If you order today, I can get them to the post office by noon tomorrow. Remember, if you claim a set, you must email me to follow up.
(The international experiment seems to be working so far for Australia and Canada.)
