Me Musing .
. . December
30, 2009 . . .
Well . . .
we finally got some snow and it was my first glimpse of how colourful
the house and Workshop colours look in winter's backdrop.
I got our little New Year bags made from the scraps of the Gees
Bend Zen duvet cover . . .
As you can
see, they aren't fancy
and just big enough to hold a penny.
Even if you make them with
paper and duct tape . . . have at it!
I
decided to place them on my KanShoKu table . . .
I
also decided to try out some dye discharge paste on the Gees Bend
fabrics that I hadn't used in the duvet cover.
I used a plastic
paint screen
on the purple
And a kitchen
scrubber on the blue
Then added some
little squiggles with a syringe
After they dried, using steam on them discharges the dye . . .
The grid all
blended together
On gold the scrubber design
is much different than on the blue . . .
The squiggles
really discharged the colour
and the scrubber made donut-like designs
The syringe
squiggles on the black
were the most colourful
I
am really looking forward to beginning the new year . . . as well
as a new decade. And I just found out today that this New Year's
Eve full moon is a Blue
Moon . . . which is when we have two full moons
in one month!
Perhaps
it portends a special night to begin the first year of a magical
decade . . .
Until
soon,
Che'usa
