winter blues




The sky is the bluest of blue this time of year. No haze or humidity, just limitless blue. I have been working with remnants from last years indigo experiments. The small shibori pieces will be part of a group show at Chroma Projects opening next week. 25 Chroma affiliated artists will display affordable, lovable, and mailable art during the month of February. I hope you can come by if you are in the neighborhood.




A small throw quilt is also in the works. The layering and quilting is still left and I am imagining a soft backing and lots of hand stitching to finish it off. I love how the shades from the various indigo dips set each other off.



Then there are the blue sachets, all indigo dyed, lovingly stitched, and sweet smelling. They are available in the store ready to ship...




Blue is the color of choice this time around.

  5. Thank you for this lovely and necessary post. I am proud to say I own all of the books in your photo and have decided to purchase only the raw materials for my clothing for the next year. I am currently making an Alabama Chanin t-shirt from a piece of milky merino I was able to acquire - indigo, I think. Thanks again for your lovely work and inspiration.
