Exhausted. That's all I have to say. No completed projects, but around noon today I went nuts and started to batik, then mixed up colors of every kind, dyed, waxed--i went on a project frenzy. Thanks to my wonderful husband and daughter for keeping the baby occupied until he had to leave for work tonight at 7.... It's tons of work. 10 hours to wax and paint a mandala tapestry, batiking a skirt, a tie dye shirt and small tapestry. 10 hours! This is not easy work- my head is pounding and back is aching- but i love it. No finished products since this kind of work can take days, even weeks to finish. Many steps ...many many steps and lots of patience is required.
My eyes are burning and my hands are stained with the labor of love......hopefully i can get a few pieces completed by tomorrow's post.
i tried some new things-and i have no idea what it looks like until i pull out the stitches. LOTS OF STITCHES.
i'm just really tired from all this play---it's hard to this kind of stuff without someone minding a toddler because it's nasty chemicals, things you have to wear a face mask for, and dye that does not wash out. So I had to wait for the baby to go to bed before continuing.... 4 pieces, 10 hours, and more to go! this is why individual tie dyes and fiber arts are so much....TIME. it takes time....
love,
a very tired me.

It really does take a lot of time to create beautiful art like yours. I so look forward to seeing the finished pieces.
