indigo and silk.

stitching on the indigo flax paper is making me so happy!

working this surface is very different than sewing with linen or kami-ito

the silk is easy and wide.

you can see that one french knot made an appearance.

so far.

little filaments all stuck together with seracin

there are little dots on the paper's surface

that showed up with the dyeing

i'm exploiting dot-ness.

this double sheet was made at pbi.

the inclusions are rubberbands that were sliced when removing

from another of Mary's projects.

i'm happy to give them this new life

playing with their shapes and, of course, poking holes.

truly, more holes may appear.

and knots.

and stitches.

the heat we're having interferes with hot projects,

but i have made a bunch more big sheets of heavy flax.

going to bring them home today.
