what i feared might happen dyeing larger pieces
is that the dye wouldn't attach itself evenly
but it did... so happy with that !
and i'm mixing and mixing colors
i chose not to use iron chrome or tin
because then i would have chemical waist
but flowers bark walnuts
anyway i'm loving this
can't wait to show you
when they're finished
wishing you a lovely weekend !
yumi takeuchi
and one last item from smallable
oh just saw they have this one too
it is not about things
it's about life
something to do
with soul
i enjoyed reading sprink
what i love about winter is wool
and what i'm looking forward to is the 20th of january
because that feels like the real new beginning
i can't wait...
i'll leave you for this week
with a winter garland
and a chair i very much like
saw it in a store combined
with a purple cushion in
the same fabric
i'm mordanting the fabric this week
so next week will be more fun
because i can start dyeing (is there another word for that?)
riihivilla is a blog about dyeing wool
with plants wood flowers
have a warm weekend !
naruse inokuma architects
dezeen
and this one fits in perfectly
smallable
+ this vessel by andrea walsh
the way the japanese use color
and very often combine european design
with their own
is a constant inspiration to me
the woolen fabric arrived
we are getting to know each other
bookcase mikado
a bit like the lean-on clothes rack
not meant to replace your closet
but as an extra
i'll start cutting the fabric now
yes i was stalling it..
+ shaketodesign
eiko ishizawa
a very good thing happened i think !
a large part of the world seems to be happy too
mostly because obama is someone they feel they can talk to
interesting times ahead of us ....
love the shape of the neckline
by chattawak
via
table wear by on za line
via shift
...i seem to be very into whites and gentle colors these days
maybe because they embody a new beginning
good luck voting , to my american friends today !
such a great idea ...
and a room big enough
to not trip over it
these are some of the fabric samples
that arrived after dyeing them
1+2 are wool
2+4 wool with silk
beautiful fabrics but very thin
good for all year round except when it is very hot or very cold
so for winter i'd prefer something thicker
: the colors are about skin tones
when you go into how the color of your skin
is composed , you'll find that when you combine a color with it
it'll bring out a certain color of which your skin color is composed of
to keep it short : if you combine the right colors your complexion
changes for the better , like make-up , but there isn't any..
you can try this at home by putting fabric over the lower part
of your arm (in daylight) and watch what happens to your skin tone
... maybe nothing new to you , but i just found it fascinating
