Alder: I haven't made it into a lake pigment yet but did dye some fabric. I was hoping for pink (as seen in my copy of Wild Color/Jenny Dean) but it's a soft yellow brown.
I am going to collect more cones (lots of them in the parking lot at work) as a supply for tannin and more experiments.
Playing with paper and colors.
Not quite done with this one, I'd like to draw lines across the windows.
I am still reading Interaction of Color, Josef Albers. One section had me going to listen again to an interview with Yo-Yo Ma on On Being.
Albers writes, "Our concern is the interaction of color: that is, seeing what happens between colors.
Yo-Yo Ma says, "You look at the sky and you start wondering: where are we? How do we fit into this vast universe? And to Casals saying that within the notes that he plays, he’s looking for infinite variety to Isaac Stern saying, the music happens between the notes. OK, well what then do you mean when you say music happens between the notes?"
Found in the garden today.
I'm just going to let these be...I think.
