Since I am retired, I sometimes lose track of what day it is. This past week-end intensified that. It has been too long. I managed to get some studio work done. I painted more organza and some silk for a background.
I wasn’t sure what to do for a background for this next piece, but I auditioned the painted silk and I quite like it.
I stitched up some more pojagi pockets from the newly painted organza. I used a bit more red.
I also did a little landscape for my sketchbook.
On the home front, we had a nice meal with the family last night. Mia and Miles had some sparkling fun on the deck.
Today, I decided to salvage 6 very ripe apricots and made some jam. I used a recipe with just apricots, sugar and lemon juice. It is a refrigerator jam.
Hot weather is acomin’! It is going to be in the 90s by the end of the week. I plan to do some marathon dyeing and maybe some discharging.
I’m loving the painted organza. Where do you find it? I checked our local JoAnns but could not find silk organza, only the polyester stuff. Would love to try painting fabric and really like the tranparency that the organza has. Am loving your work. Keep it up.
Seems like you’re having fun. I like the look of your jam. Is it called refrigerator jam because it doesn’t set like normal and has to be kept cool? How do you make it (please, if you have time!)
I love the flow of the red paint!
Know exactly what you mean about losing track of the days, too. When one works at home, there isn’t a lot to distinguish one from the next.
