I am combining a few different techniques and enjoying how much the intense sunshine kicks in the colours. I am occasionally using the "serti" technique and creating designs on each side of the silk scarf. I am overwhelmed by the endless colours I can create by mixing, then steaming to set the dyes. The colours become brilliant after the steaming and the silk remains soft and translucent.
I was delighted to sell two scarves already as I had only made 8. I am about to set out with sunscreen and a sombrero and turn my backyard into a studio again. I am nestled beneath an orange tree, the scent of lemon wafts over from the prolific lemon tree a few meters away. Bananas are waiting to be picked. There is an abundance here that I never take forgranted
One aspect of this abundance, is a feeling of "having time" and not being distracted or preoccupied by a multitude of obligations. I love that feeling. Each day is like an empty white canvas and I can feel all the excitement as I decide how I will fill my canvas each day.
I send warmest greetings to everyone!
Evi
