i'm thinking about ways to hang a tea towel
just love the clothes hangers
hope to show you some pictures of dyed wool
and linen over the weekend

very excited about how the dyeing is going to turn out
wishing you a warm weekend
.... some pictures of my natural dyeing adventure !

tres bien shop
the package did arrive after all
so now i'm scouring and mordanting
the linen
here you can find out what that is
and here's a faster way
so my head is filled with numbers ,
calculations ... it makes you feel like a chemist
instead of someone who wants to make an object
that 'll probably come back to me when i get the
hang of it...

i never mention baby or children's clothes
just because .... i don't have any
very silly so from now on i will
the same goes for cars but those aren't beautiful these days
i'm always on the lookout though
something else i haven't mentioned is euro 2008
beauty is everywhere also in football
i like the way some guys move
the dutch team f.e. has a player who moves like a tap dancer
and another one who moves like an antelope
but it's not the same without zizou ...
+ thank you for your kind words this week!
just love these shots by geoffrey cottenceau&romain rousset
for the colors i'm working on i have
the pale nudes and dark colors that rick owens uses in mind
love the off white and green in this picture
magali reus
+ this beautiful exhibition
now let's see where was i ...
last friday i sort of got sidetracked by a post on vivre a la campagne
about couleur chanvre , i very charming company which sells kitchen
and bedlinen made of hemp and all dyed with natural dyes
..... which made me remember this place
a mill that grinds chalk , pigments and natural dyes
just outside of amsterdam
and got to see this book with recipes
in short i'm up to my nose into the world of natural dyes
and discovered that although the dye stuff is natural , that doesn't mean
the process is environmentally friendly. So far i haven't seen any grey color
without the use of iron , or beautiful brown colors without the help of copper.
So i'm wondering what kind of process they used for couleur chanvre
back to my pot with logwood for me and a good day to you !

.... very nice
also because of STILL started by martha
i'm sort of heavily into my new plants at the moment
the sun is shining....not in the mood at all for searching the internet
this is still my inspiration for the garden
and for those of you who like plants , the one in the bottom picture
is called astilboides tabularis
and the blur in the top picture is caused by a blooming valerian
Have a nice weekend everybody

you can read the text in english over here
he was inspired by all the unexpected forms and colors
that grow when you're not doing everything as perfect as possible
by tim hodkinson
i don't know how he did it but it looks interesting
done with software to generate images
and this looks interesting as well
