Sunday was cloudy and cool; the high temp was about 64. Consequently we got off to a slow start.
Sue did her morning walk, but by the time we were ready to get to work, Bob was ready to do his online volunteer greeter duty for the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy center, so we decided to go to the grocery store instead so as not to disturb him. So after a late lunch we finally got going. Mostly it was more washing out of dyed pieces and Sue dipped a few more in the indigo pot.
The lighting isn't great in the above picture. Left to right, the fabrics are red, dragon fruit, turquoise, and black. The doilies were batched in the leftover parakeet and turquoise dyes. Not very exciting, mostly solids but they will be useful for an upcoming class and also working on using up some old dyes.
Elizabeth rinsed out her cyanotype print from yesterday before starting a 2 hour Zentangle online workshop, so her time in the "studio" was limited today. The cyanotype was made from a carrot top and parsley from Bob's garden plot.
Last week our Zentangle teacher, Marisela Rumberg had us make a Bijou tile to use as a library of 24 different tangles we have studied. This week we used it to play several rounds of BINGO/BIJOU to help us remember the names of each tangle. Afterwards, Marisela picked from her Bijou library 4 more tangle designs for us to use in today's practice tile.
If you live near Occoquan VA, Marisela's LOVE Zentangle art installation will be revealed this Friday, Sept. 3 at River Hill Park, 11 AM. Be sure to stop by and see it as it joins the many other iconic "Virginia is for Lovers" LOVE art around the Commonwealth. Hopefully it will remain there for a long time.
