Monday was a holiday here in the United States, and so, a break from the Mighty Mighty Day Job. I worked on my silk project at the studio instead.
 |
| My calculations and notes from the prototype design stitched last week, hand-dyed silk organza panels on the left. |
 |
| The panels dyed up really beautifully. |
 |
| I drew the cutting line on freezer paper, and traced it onto the silk with pencil. |
 |
| At mid-afternoon, one third of the panels were edge-finished, and the beauty of the early autumn afternoon drew Flossy and I outdoors. |
 |
| Mushroom season is upon us. |
 |
| My friend had a camp set up out the road, and we stayed for a hot dog picnic after walking the Dogs. |
 |
| A Forest Spirit we met in the beach fringe. |
I am beginning to get ready to travel a week from tomorrow.
Lots of things on the list of things to do.
Happy mid-week to all!
Awesome silk! Where you off to? Have a lovely journey, wherever you go!

ReplyDeletewishing you a wonderful journey.

ReplyDeletehave a nice trip dear Sus, xx
I love the photos of where you live. Your mushrooms are so delicate compared to ours. We are in a dry spell but when it starts raining again I will show you. Big hoary things.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the weights you use in your cutting? I use canned tomatoes, haha.
Hi, Sus. LUV what you're doing with the silks, of course! Smashing colors. Waiting to see the next step!
