a good day

saturday seemed to be a low energy day for me. 
but it wasn't really.
i ended the day by opening up a bundle of shifu pages i had wrapped last weekend.
the bundle included frozen violas and hollyhocks
bloodroot
aluminum, rusty steel, my well water and vinegar.


this shifu was bundled around a bloodroot rhizome 
nice striping 
not a flying saucer 
a bundle of shifu pages, layered with dyestuff
wrapped in old cotton sheeting
and tied 
unwrapped  
the bottom 
the wrapper 
the stack 
not for the faint hearted if slimy stuff is a problem 
spent flowers 
the pages, in order of stacking 
they will dry and wait several days
then i will rinse.
saturday morning i planted my indigo babies,
then my sister and i went to ottawa for CBBAG fair
(more later) 
and we ate at canal ritz
this is how the day ended.
