BLACK TILE, BLACK MOOD (BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.)

Well, after scaring the pants off of readers with yesterday's post on my new shoes, I thought I'd post something more subdued today.

BLACK GESSO ON BLACK ZENTANGLE® TILE; BLACK METALLIC GELLYROLL PEN, GENERAL BRAND WHITE PENCIL FOR HIGHLIGHTS.

I really needed those silly shoes yesterday as I was in a dark mood all day.  Really not sure why, and that is very unusual for me.  Part of it may have been weather-related as it was dark, gloomy, and rainy out, but normally that's not an issue.  Who knows!  The shoes cheered me up, and doing that tile cheered me up just before I went to bed.

BYDP (Big Yarn Dyeing Project) DAY 6:
After getting nothing done yesterday except cleaning the house, I was back in the dyepots today.  Three more skeins are just about ready to come out of the oven, and with them, I will have officially finished 1/4 of the dyeing for the background for this large rug.

The background will be 4 colors of dark purple, and today's haul completes one of the four.  I need at least 8 skeins of each.  I have 6 more dyed of color #2 already, and 2 skeins of color #3, so I am nearly halfway there.

Doing a small batch and then cleaning up today was easier than just leaving my kitchen set up for dyeing for several days in a row.  That was incredibly disruptive.

I will be busy for part of this week at the upcoming opening of the tarot rug show in Vermont (see my earlier posts for details on that);  this means I needed to "park" the Big Yarn Dyeing Project today.  It will be several days before I can resume.
