Should be Monday!

I KNOW it is Sunday evening but when I wake up tomorrow AM, I plan to hit the ground running, so, as I have the Green Inchies finished, here they are . Hope you enjoy them!

This is a perfect example of why it is some unwise to try drawing on a slippery surface. He was great until I realised that he needed outlining and then ..... So , here is one very green, but very messy little froggy with gold spots and a sloppy little gold crown. My bet is that he is a Prindsome Hance in disguise! 

 These ones were just a batch effort.This is jolly good fun but now I need the challenge of having to actually SAY something- and just in time for the end of EIM :-(

Maybe what I will do is copy the list from this year and just start through it . I only started with the Amusement one a few weeks ago so it would be good practice for me. 

I have all sorts of these little buttons. I dyed these ones green-er, but I would have liked them even more distinctly green. Maybe a touch of paint? We
shall see.











Can you tell that I like sparkles? I am part Magpie, I think- always have been ! I have a prodigious collection of beads and sequins and neat crazy little buttons.










 Not sure what is happening here tonight. I am not getting these pictures moved when and where I want them. I did not want the last one way down there. Maybe I can move it. This is what comes of doing Monday things on Sunday!

 Hah Hah! I DID it ! Now, that's better. I have a couple of yellow ones done too but want to try some different ones . Enjoy EIM - on Sunday PM or Monday AM!

New Post, new day, old process.....

I did it today!! Photo to follow . I dyed this afternoon in our cellar. I bought some Procion MX dyes and finally got round to trying them out. I made a piece of cotton lawn fabric dyed with magenta and turquoise dyes using the Low Water Immersion technique. The dyes are familiar to me as once upon a time , in another incarnation, I did a LOT of batik dyeing and I used Procion dyes then . The LWI technique is new to me though. It seems kind of tie dye- ish and I like parts of what I did . Parts are too monochromatic though- too rosy with too little turquoise effect. It is nice but I wanted the two colours to show. I know what to do now so next time .....

I still need to post a picture of the nearing finished Plane Tree Bark piece. Pleasant colours. interesting textures. I will perhaps add a light layer of Lumiere paint texture on the top layer just to break up the flatness of that surface.

I have begun working on my Green Inchies. SO much to look forward to : )
