Gathering linen
Posted by laura bellel on August 13, 2018 | 2 Comments
In the moments between visitors, phone calls and household chores, I sorted, washed, and ironed some odds and ends of indigo dyed linen fabric.
These are some of the leftovers from experiments and bits of fabrics I dyed and put away thinking I might use them in the future. They add up quickly.
Yellow and indigo moon.
None of these are "perfect", but they're still pretty good.
Id like to be able to mimic these patterns!

I always love the indigo linen and the imperfections as you say are the parts that intrigue me the most. That's where I see the love pouring out and asking for something very unique.

The imperfect spots remind me over and over that there's so much to learn.
With so many reminders, I should have learned some of these lessons by now!
