The start of another destashing session... It's surprising how quickly new projects crowd out the old. So often I think I'll work a little more on a piece, maybe try to develop the color more, but the day is already filled with other work, so I put it away for "later". Later doesn't come. The sensiible thing is to gather up some of these and list them for sale as they are, spots, speckles, and all.
Groups of indigo dyed napkkins. Most have a little dyeing mistake, but the I think the fabrics are still lovely.
Clearing out the boxes again
It's time to sort through the heaps again.....
Most of these are pieces leftover from other projects and experiments.. Some have imperfections. I was waiting to find a way to use them or fix them. I'm pretty sure I won't after all.
This one isn't so bad really.
Vintage silk pieces dyed with cochineal, weld, indigo and madder roots.
Fancy vintage Japanese silk and fresh indigo leaves.
Silk organza indigo and snow
I'm so fortunate to be able to work with color every day. Off to fill up the baskets again!
