drying dyeing

 there was a little potful of mushrooms and water waiting for me to throw in something to dye

i was uninspired 

and exhausted

this week. 

all i could do was make paper, something i know so well 

and so  

i took a piece of lokta, 

folded it, 

clamped four quarters, 

and put it and two velvet scrunchies into the pot

the color and pattern are very subtle

but at least it's something

and i am looking for subtleties 

these days

grateful for every 

miraculous 

one
