Francophile

I actually managed to get my head together enough to dye today [careful how I spell that], I wanted some kind of dark background and while doggy walking I thought a burnt orange with black line stitches and blue highlights might work.
However once I start dyeing anything can happen.
Too impatient to check instructions I can never remember, i used the direct dyes, salt and hot water, seems to have worked.
The orange is a beautiful glow on the washing line even now, but maybe under burnt. i added some violet as you do, and now the loose weave stuff is brown, so I have draped it over the rusty mattress springs in the garden to see if I can get some rusty circle stains. Added salt and water so it will either mark or disintegrate ere long.
good fun, I don't know why it takes so much effort to get me going, maybe something to do with the results, who knows.
I have installed a new screen saver this week, one of my pics from the Bayeux Tapestry multiplied itself to fill the screen, so now I have lines of excited Franks rampaging across the screen.
Have to take my Dancer pieces to the Stowmarket exhibition and visit the Deadly Virtues at Raveningham this w/e, so feeling productive. Mostly the effect of a holiday and the continues sunshine I expect.
