I have added a couple of 'prints' to the top half of the wicking-project-jacket: I pressed the bag of cloth wrapped around the black beans against the jacket leaving blue-grey markings, f.e. on right front shoulder (left in pic), on the back a flour-resist bird stencil; on the left breast (right in pic) another smudged stencil flour-resist print; in the bucket a tin can wrapped with black-bean-dyed cloth has been added, to add more colour to that bit of fabric and maybe the can itself will add to the wicking results as well; tea leaves are continously chucked in, as I make a fresh pots of tea - also adds much needed heat, it is Pouring with Rain over here and too cold for this longest of days!!!
as you may be able to see, the dye is rising pretty fast |

Nancy: this small cloth has taught me so much, I had a lot of fun just stitching the twirly bits, very meditative;-)
