Happy Birthday M!

Skirting

Ok, enough!  Though one thing lead to another, and the closet is becoming too full. 

First is dyed by my hand -- organic cotton and indigo dye. Easy enough to dye, though the need to be vigilant on dye stuff highlighted by the few times I wasn't be very careful.  Rib makes for easy fit and seemingly good shape retention thus far. Second jacquard paired with color similar color tunic..a few seams for both, very easy shapes. Perhaps too billowy, but will road test and see -- the balance of relaxed and sloppy.  The third silk..decided to cut the longer hanging piece at hem finally...was for "different-ness," but required too high a shoe or prone to dragging.  

The ease of shapes -- the light came years ago while looking at a old garment in a museum some years ago -- very simple, few seams, though drape and fabric made the statement.  The natural fabric do this best ..the silk, the cotton. Not yet into painting them for pattern...though that may come. 

Coil Pot with the Coils Showing

Ok, will see how it turns out.  Smoothed the coils together on outside, will see when I return how it looks on the inside...hoping for coils to still look like this abstract face of a rather goofy guy.

Study of Repeating Elements

I could be philosophical about this, but for now statement shall be blocks repeating.
