Oh my goodness I haven't written a darn thing in over a month! I knew I had been busy but I did not realize that I had been absent for that long! Wow how the time does fly when you are having fun! And I have been having sooo much fun these past few weeks. I have mentioned before how much I love dyeing fabric, well I have taken the step beyond yardage and started dyeing clothing! Oh my gawd I am having a grand time! Along with dyeing the clothing I have started adding screen printing and other embellishments to produce some really beautiful and unique items that I am hoping I can sell rather quickly so that I can buy more blanks and do a lot more! I have already dyed over 80 t-shirts in a rainbow of vibrant colors and have done some screen printing on maybe a dozen and a half or so.
Today I spent part of the afternoon cleaning up my studio so that I could get to my dress dummy, which was of course buried in a back corner behind piles and piles of boxes, so I now have a model to wear the shirts so I can take pictures to show you all just how incredibly lovely this process really is. It is different from tie dyeing and produces a much different effect that I just find really fascinating. I tried a few other processes besides my usual low water immersion (LWI) method, but while they were great fun to do, the results were not as spectacular so I probably won't do those again any time soon.
I have also been working on another project for my husband that has been taking up a lot of the time I would normally have spent writing, but mostly I have just been obsessing with my newest hobby - which is what I do best after all. If you read back through my posts you will see I have warned you repeatedly that I am nothing if unreliable about getting things posted on here. I haven't even typed in any recipes in weeks. I am a professional slacker. I admit it. I just got lucky that I found a man willing to put up with it and provide for my every want, need and desire, or I would still be miserable trying to pretend I wasn't lazy, selfish, and spoiled rotten. And that was no fun at all!
About: A little bit silly, a little bit strange, usually worth a giggle, or at the very least a smile. Everyone is welcome at Mother's, except stupid people, if you are stupid please go away now. Mother Loves everyone, unconditionally. Mother HAS to love everyone unconditionally, because she really doesn’t like people. So if She didn’t Love you unconditionally She wouldn’t like any of you at all.
Sounds like lot of fun, I would like to see some of your work:) Possibly post some pics...?
