Cherry Bomb Baby: January 2008

Thursday, January 31, 2008. Dyeing Success Smells Sweet. Really it does. Because this merino top smells vaguely of honey. As does this roving. This is more of the Fletcher/Suri Alpaca blend I got from Homestead. And its SO beautiful even my partner thought it was neat. And that is rare because he is not a fiber afficionado. He is more of a motorcycle and broken retro dishwasher kind of guy. Now for the green:. Always taught us the method I used. And she always has her reasons as I'm learning. I left some...

Saturday, February 16, 2008. Embers in a haystack. This is the first skein of Fletcher's rescue roving I dyed, it was dyed with quebracho red, pomegranate, wattle, logwood purple (I think I browned that out by placing it by yellows and they bled together-WHAT was I thinking? I like how its greenish. I was expecting more yellow and it is yellow when you get in there to look at the fibers that were white, but when you step back and look at the whole it looks olive. Love it. This is a sad little picture of ...

Cherry Bomb Baby: July 2007
http://cherrybombbaby.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Natural Dye Class Results. I took a natural dye class at Deep Color Studio. The finicky and fermenting ingredients, the magic of color change from yellow/green to deep blue and, of course, enter me-the bedraggled hag with rubber gloves. I know it will be a yellow/red and not a blue/red but I can live with that. Cochineal, I suppose its not much different than silk. I wish they could just find the already dead bugs and grind those! Wouldn't that be nice? Posted by Andrea @ 8:13 PM.
