So many things on deck but I have to wait to finish them. Mom fractured her hip last Thursday and I have definitely been redirected in my explorations & write up of results. But as I sit here in the elder care eddy of life I thought I’d post pictures of what is in the pipeline and will get written about.
My effort for black without iron gave me some promising directions…the skeins wait patiently.
My time poring thru John Marshall’s library gave me more info on pulling the yellows early from a madder root bath. The roots & rice are having a party in my absence in the sun. Note my drawstring color.
My experiments at John’s indigo explorations with dried Japanese indigo leaves, fructose and lime gave me the green blue one gets from blender indigo.
Finally my pull from the Indigofera Suffruticosa waits patiently. Hopefully it is separating as we wait.
I am remembering why drying indigo leaves was so attractive to me. I pick, dry and hold them for when I have time to play.
Off to mom stuff.
