Inking about it

What if you take some twist

and ink

adding a few drops of ink to the twist

and working it in with your fingers.

You get gorgeous aqua/teal/turquoise/blue,

orange

and (lacking a better word) silvery beige fibers to use in your work.

Costs close to nothing and you can mix whatever colour you want. Both twist and the ink are inexpensive and the colours can be heat set for colourfastness.

My samples looked great while wet, but unfortunately lost some of the brilliant colours while drying. Next time I’ll add more ink.

Tonight I’ll talk about the process of working with my book and do a show and tell of the projects.

I’d better get ready; I haven’t even opened the box since I got it back from the publisher’s but at least I know where it is. Uuuhm, did we move the box when we had company…
