blurry pics

 we start with the snail's indentation marks on the nectarine: proof they do have teeth; I'm sure it was a snail as there is also evidence of it's slimey footprint, which lights up as the whitish spots in the photo's

I'm delighted as my small loom arrived today and I too can start experimenting with tiny samples in Jude's class; small beginnings

trying to take pics of self wearing a shirt I had originally intended to use as a lining in a would-be reversible linen jacket (back in boro class last year)...way too complicated for me, couldn't be bothered to get caught up in that kind of detail; it was dyed in a black bean dye last summer and as I liked the dot-results better on the inside I decided to cut it apart and turn it inside out, although I have kept the sleeves intact and am going to leave them outside out as the seam is so neat and tidy; I'm hand stitching the whole shirt back together again and that is one thing I would never have imagined wanting to do, let alone enjoy!  It was a large shirt to begin with and is still fairly loose so I'm going to use that quality (it's silk as well and has a nice sway) and will have buttons on front at hip-height, a wrap-around drapey thing over my tummy, a light material as well and home-dyed of course, don't quite know yet how I will attach the two...will see; still have the edges to sort out and then hopefully will be able to wear it soon

cherry dye
