Snail's Pace

Turtle? Slo-Mo? That's me these days, as far as fiber work is concerned. I have nothing to share/show today. I do have a mention that my etsy shop is clocking along pretty well right now. Nothing to enable ditching of the day-job, but it's a fun thing to do, and I'm making some sales.

I HAVE been doing a little bit of dyeing - last week I put in some onesies, other fabrics, denim, cotton in egplant, some golds, multis, etc. And a t-shirt. And a mandala (it will have to be overdyed, tho). I tried hombre dyeing - I'm gonna have to try that again, since there is a clear demarcation in the coloring between the blue and purple on that first try. So it's not like I've been sitting on my hands - I've accomplished, just not photographed anything this week.

I'm gong to be moving my hand-dyed fabrics to a new etsy shop at the end of June. I think I have too much of a hodge-podge where they are now - I'd like the art fabrics to be in a more focused area where they can be the STARS of the show - not just part of the mob.

One of most favoritest pieces of hand-dyes that I have on etsy right now is this Cliff-Hanger piece. I love the subtlty of the color variations. And I'm totally surprised that it's been there as long as it has. I think if it's still in my shop when I transfer, I'm just going to transfer that one to my personal stash!

Another that I really, really like is this green piece - it just screams "Lake Moss" to me. Of course I don't call it that in the Shop, but it's how I think of it. Very cool (in more ways than one) piece.

And FINALLY, this sweet thing - I call it Lilacs and Starlight. It just absolutely twinkles. It is so, so pretty. I wish it was bigger than a half-yard, cuz it's just very nice - quiet - soothing.

Gee, and I said I don't have any pictures for today - shows what *I* know! These are perfectly nice pictures, and if you are reading this and think they're nice, too, you'd certainly be welcome to mosey over to my Etsy Shop and see if they are something you migh tlike to purchase. I'm running a reduced-cost shipping special right now, so this is a great chance to save a couple bucks and get some really beautiful fabric. [Etsy link in the Nav Bar at left side of this page.]

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program..... errr..... j.o.b.
