machine made paper
and
a variety of dyestuffs
the end of autumn for sure
first batch of
dyeing on arches text wove
the second batch is in the press
might make some interesting books?
hand made paper, shifu, artists' books, north country living, and some words
will make amazing books.

trace, hoping so-
ReplyDeleteOK, at risk of sounding... um... like myself in college -
ReplyDeleteTotally man!
valerie, groovy, or updated, awesome and thanks
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all this in person!
ReplyDeletemelissa, i can't wait to see YOU in person!
ReplyDeletemagical and mystical - alchemical and a touch of it all
ReplyDeletehenrietta, i am so not magical, really, just plain old. i do play with alchemy, but not with much methodology!
ReplyDeleteThey are warm and strong V - and in your hands will make a wonderful book (or other thing as the whim takes you).
ReplyDeleteWay cool! I love the deepness of these and the hints of blue. Trippy :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful books...Yes!My heart races when i see magic like this.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing.
ReplyDeletefantastic, they are art in themselves - don't need to be made into anything. awesome!
ReplyDeleteV-beautioful rust colours - they will make beautiful books. B
ReplyDeletefiona, i'm considering a drum leaf binding...but who knows once they all are place together...and then maybe narrative will occur!
ReplyDeletenancy, it's funny how many of the colors are picked up quite incorrectly, the little canon has its limitations (as does the photographer)
robyn, i am so excited, too, glad to hear you share it.
lynn, thank you!
jean, thanks, but i think they must!
barry, the rust tones are rich, but the camera just won't pick up the subtle greens and violets
agree w. jean!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that intense 'rustification'! I've rusted fabric, but that much would erode it completely. Still, those photos have me itching to stitch on that material!
ReplyDeleteneki, thanks, but i think they should become something
ReplyDeletemargaret, virtually no rust in these! really and truly.
Beautiful -
ReplyDeleteI love that you are dyeing paper.
amazingly complex. i love how the circles add repetition to the mottled colors
ReplyDeletejudy, it seems so appropriate somehow
ReplyDeletejoni, thanks for that observation
I love the papers all spread out, and I imagine compiled into a binding they will also be amazing...
ReplyDeletedee, i am still trying to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! these are very beautiful Velma!
ReplyDeletethanks, mc!
ReplyDeleteyumbo scrumbo (and a little sigh - its virtually impossible to get arches text wove here in oz - not that the magic is in the specific paper - just that this paper is such a useful little bugger for all sorts of things....)
ReplyDeleteronnie, i love yumbo scrumbo!. they've changed the name to something like villein (no time to look it up now) but i suspect you know that. surprised it's not available in oz.
