I’ve postponed the indigo awhile again, as cooler weather has returned. Meanwhile, I got busy this week pasting my new rabbits-greens-moon stencil on 100% off-white linen from a local fabric outlet, S. R. Harris. It’s funny how every mammal I depict reminds me of my well-fed cat, Lester (in body if not in ears). I have a tendency to make my paste too thick/dry, and have been making an effort to overcome this. This batch felt just right.

These will make lovely runners and hangings! I’m imagining the colors I might use…
after pasting, the cloth is re-stretched to dry the paste
Ooooh!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this!
The repeat is a great success- it flows naturally and is beautifully balanced. I’m looking forward to seeing color added.
Living vicariously here, watching this work come into being!
thank you – I think it will be fun to dye!
