oops!
the bag of frozen pomegranate peel I planned to dye with turned out to be avocado (peels and seed)
definitely not the colour I was planning on
all 2 ply handspun wool — from the top – the natural light grey I’m currently spinning, Icelandic and Merino
the fabric is a small linen towel that was dyed with avocado several years ago – a soft peachy brown
according to everything I read avocado is suppose to give pinks – not in my experience
not wanting/needing more beige/brown I put the grey and the Merino in an iron after bath
it is slightly more green than the camera could capture
in searching for a special piece of silk that I know is somewhere
I turned out the box of silk scraps and decided something needed to be done with them
first, ironing
sorting into colours
and then, of course stitching – bojagi (pojagi) a Korean technique
the book Bojagi and Beyond is by Chunghie Lee
see my blog onesmallstitch.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/bojagi
or click on “tags” on the right sidebar where there are 30 blogs on the technique
don’t know where the stitching is taking me but it might get big
the foxglove are plentiful – I let them self seed, love the patterns
now off to do more ironing – true confession -I like ironing!

Kerry – guess I have a short attention span – and I realize as I get older that it is time to get on with all those

patchwork is so satisfying, even if it’s slow. always so fun to see what it wants to be.
the little i’ve worked with avocado for color was always separating the pits for pink and skins for more orangey brown, not working with them together. but yes, if i was looking forward to pomegranate’s gold, i would have been disappointed, too!

Aimee – I’ve always wondered if freezing makes any difference – don’t eat enough to have enough fresh at one time. The slow, patient bojagi is very satisfying in a meditative sort of way.

Beautiful foxgloves, and I’m interested to see where this particular bojagi will lead you.

Kate – I’ll just keep going until I get tired of it then decide what it wants to become.
