what a result! the coin-clamped cotton from the avocado/onion peel dye, no mordant - if I remember well it was in there since wednesday |

yet another block into the avocado/onion peel dye, the folded fabric square is too large for the wooden boards and the wrapped string will add markings to the end result |

I love these colours, their modest natural presence |

hi Julie, well this canal, which we would call a 'vliet' (we have many names for so-called canals, mainly to do with width/depth etc) runs through the woods nearby, all these differing canals are connected and regulate the waterlevels, so they lead nowhere or everywhere; we don't have a canal running directly along our house, there is a shallow ditch on the southern end of the garden and on the other side of the street a proper 'sloot' = kind of a ditch that always has water running through; the northern end of the garden runs up into a dike, which is also a road, on the other side of the dike we have so-called 'uiterwaarden'= river forelands(?) and then a river; we live in a patchwork of plots of land with watery seams - which sums up a lovely image of where we live, I think (feel something happening in the brain now......must become visual in a cloth story)
right there Jan: very flat, so we enjoy huge skies and flat surfaces, with the occasional dike-bumps, all echoing each other, spectacular in a modest way; the avocado/onion peel pinks turned out quite well in this piece, I think the metal coins and clamps played are large part in the succesful outcome
I agree Debbie: beautiful pinks, and I am a not a pink fan!!
hello Valerianna: oh those memories of doll houses.....more and more is resurfacing; what a great use of cedar roots;-) I will keep this in mind on my walks
