Progress

Today is sunny for the first time in over a week, maybe even 2 weeks. On December 21, the day of the winter solstice, I took a picture of a shadow precisely at noon, and marked that spot. Today's picture shows that there is progress - the sun has moved higher in the sky. The white arrow indicates the point on Dec 21 and the black arrow is the equivalent today. Just call me Geek.




I've finished up all the dyes and here are the results:




Above is a combination of Cerulean Blue, Blue-Violet, Ultra Violet, and Navy.
Below is a combination of Golden Yellow, Clear Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Deep Yellow, and a bunch of the blue mixture to make green. It's really a nicer green than what's showing up here.



The red piece is Light Red, Chinese Red, Soft Orange, and Scarlet mixed together.



This last piece is the combination of Khaki, Chocolate Brown, and Black. This fabric photographed far better than it actually looks. So if you think it looks bad here, you should see the real thing. You would think you couldn't go wrong with something named Chocolate Brown.



And lastly, here are some threads. Size 12 pearl cotton. I've wound one of the skeins around a drinking straw.
