more productivity

today i also:

• did some eucalyptus dyeing from the india flint book revered below. hot eucalyptus dyeing makes the whole house smell clean

• this is my favourite piece - the pattern reminds me of cuttlefish eyes. i wrapped a shell in a strip of white silk and bound it with a rubber band before putting it in the dye bath

• made the christmas cake (lent is over, after all). the fruit has been wallowing in a cocktail of brandy, whiskey, cointreau and grand marnier since the week the before christmas. it has another hour to go in the oven and smells wonderful
