Still cold...
The quince I harvested were close to spoiling so I made quince paste today. And applesauce bread and blueberry jam because I needed some space in the freezer.
And tested my baby vat of indigo.
This is indigo that I grew. I fermented it (for much longer than I needed to), strained it and composted the leaves, added Calcium hydroxide, then fructose, and then tossed in some cotton fabric. It worked! Happy, happy, happy dance! I wasn't trying for an even dye, this will be used as the center square for my covid/log cabin quilt.
And then I played with some of my paint
(garden soil not well sifted)
and took photos and did some digital layering.
So much fun but now it's time to get back to some sewing and knitting too...
