Bubbles. Has promise but the execution needs work, starting with a spray booth. There are some really nice splats on the patio, though. Also the grass. Possibly the dog.

Perhaps repeatedly being slathered in olive oil was not such a good idea after all.

There are three wine bottles in this indigo vat. All three were filled with water before being put in (because empty wine bottles float!) but two are now filled with water and indigo. Oops. You may forget about physics, but physics will never forget about you. #arashi #shibori #indigo

My father’s 16-shaft Weavebird, a computer-controlled dobby loom, and the computer it’s connected to. Which doesn’t boot; I think the power supply is bad. Can I move it to a modern computer, or at least one that boots? Tune in next time for more! #weavebird

I just watched two little brown birds sitting on the same branch chirp at each other, then launch into a spiral of wing-fluttering and darting. Now they’re sitting on the branch again, but with their backs to each other. I’m dying to know what was said.

If the sun ever comes out again I can take some better pictures. I like the ivy leaf on the last one, it looks like a dinosaur footprint. Contact prints using leaves on silk.

This week's batch of solar-powered dyepots is called "Don't ask me right now, I'm watching Star Trek." Fair enough, kid. Fair enough.

“It’s like the ghosts of Elves. The Legolas kind, not the Dobby kind. Ghost Dobby would be really freaky.” Agree 100%, kid.

The tablecloth that went with the previous #snowdye veil. I probably should have put them in the same post, but I forgot I could do that. Modern technology is hard.

Put my dye tubs out in the snow so I could collect it without getting my hands cold. Brought them in a while later, applied the dyes, and forgot to take a picture until several hours of melting later.
Two busser’s tubs being snowed on, while sitting on top of a table with more snow on it. Several objects in the background are also covered with snow.A length of cloth sitting on a grate, with snow on top of it. The snow has been sprinkled with several colors of dye powder.Two baskets with cloth scrunched up in them and covered by a layer of snow.

Bluesky should give Mt Blue Sky an account. bluesky@bluesky would be pretty good.

Mount Evans is now Mount Blue Sky
The mountain had been named for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans, determined by historians to have set in motion the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864.

The kid sat through all of Star Trek IV (the one with the whales) and has decided that it is funnier and they liked it more than II. No disrespect to Ricardo Montalbon’s pecs, but they’re not wrong. And thank all the gods they did not ask me to find them a copy of “Whales weep not”.

I wasn’t in a hurry so I didn’t mind waiting, especially since the alternative was backing my bigass truck through the aisle and around a corner in a crowded parking lot in the rain. Still. Not cool, FedEx.

A lively discussion in the car came to the conclusion that being a precog would be really useful when you need to fart. I’d blame this on me being drunk and the kid being 10, but J was sober and still pointed out that “never wrong about a fart” is a good way to identify the Kwisatz Haderach.
