delicious colo(u)r

 somehow the u added in

makes color richer.

here at beautiful silks,

colour enhances even the metal

grates covering the windows

 so i went shopping

looking for some goodies for my students:

pigment perhaps, or other papers--

and a couple of drop spindles.

 and i found this place:

melbourne etching supply

it has the rarefied atmosphere

of serious, quality art supplies,

and paper

and pigment

 aukje's sample books

 when a teacher takes the time 

to put her samples into an original

and beautiful format

her students have a 

haptic object to explore

and 

 a way to begin

discovery

this idea

seedpod stitched

is terribly exciting 

the structurue is simple, elegant 

and totally appropriate 

class supply collage

outside in the alley

natural green 

aukje put six shifu squares

into dyebaths

the vats ate two

but spewed forth these.
