More Stitching, More Planning.

Today was more or less split up between stitching loops to the dyed fabric swatches and doing some maintenance, tidying up, labeling of photos and planning for the next events - a sewing workshop for a group centering around the time of 1000, for instance, and of course the European Textile Forum (aka my Week of Madness). 

All that fortified by some lovely tea. And though it's been fun to work on all of these things, I'm quite happy that the weekend is now very near, and looking forward to it! Though I might even try to finish stitching the loops today. I can tell you, those colours are lovely, and it's really nice to see how similar colours from different plants can come out and how different from the same plant. Also always high on my list: the direct comparison between posh black and cheap black. You can really feel the difference in the fabric, not just see it, as the iron does diminish the shine of the wool and makes it feel... "stumpf" you'd say in German, which would be blunt if talking about a knife, but "dull" would probably match the meaning range best here. Not as nice as the wool dyed with more fibre-friendly stuff, in any case!

I'm already looking forward so much to hanging this in the exhibition. A wall full of brightly coloured wool swatches, it will look so impressive!
