got the indigo blues today - my life is taking some strange turns at the moment. it's polarised: very good in some bits and very awful in others. so there is rejoicing and energy and fulfillment in cordoned off areas of my life while other parts are awash with frustration and a bleak grief. i keep buffeting from one to another and am feeling a bit punch drunk this afternoon. it's also not good for my short term memory which keeps failing me...
creativity is both a bit of a trudge and life raft in such times and i have done small small tings this afternoon - i made a label for my interior alice quilt which is about to begin a sojourn with dijanne; and i had a play with the instant indigo crystals that arrived this week.
here are photos of some experimental first indigo dippings - as usual they are drying on the long suffering branches of the fig tree. silk, towelling, silk, a cotton bag, doiley, lutradur and linen. and a word of warning - the solution smells vile so i recommend dipping outside...

lovely coloring venture but interesting to know that it smells awful. Am having extremes of good and bad in my own life and the mood swings to go with it. As for short term memory ... WHAT short term memory. It sucks.
