I made two #cyanotype faces on fabric yesterday. I call one of them KashPatel and the other, KarolineLeavitt. 😂

I have been fighting with this third mini split unit for weeks. But I never gave up. I now have all three units installed and running. The lines for this one are 50ft. 🙀 The others are 16ft. I aquired some new tools, learned new skills, and saved a small fortune by doing it myself. 👏👏👏 #minisplit

I just did an 80 pound deadlift. Two more to go.

Lorrie Lane Studio First Friday will feature paper pieces by several artists, including cyanotypes by me. 😁 First 25 participants get a new collectible button, featuring art by Lorrie Lane. No purchase necessary.

Another reminder to not trust (and definitely verify) what Ai spews forth. In one of the cheapest states to live in, a new central unit, installed, is much much more than this says. Try $10K!!

Happy New Year. Here's my current view as I listen to all of the booms outside. I'll be asleep soon. I've become a whimp. 😂

LOL. If only they didn't lie, I'd have enough to pay for my new HVAC compressor and then some!! What are we up to now? $5000 DOGE $2500 Tariffs $2000 from this ________ $9500 - 2900 compressor ________ $6600 to put in savings That makes the $30/month SSI increase tolerable. 🤣😂🤣 Please send now!

Just found out what it will cost to get my HVAC repaired. Well, I found out an hour ago. I just started breathing again. $2,900! I'm still in shock. Also, my truck won't start. All this after my coffee maker quit working and my microwave died. I give up. #makeitstop

I splurged on a nice pet bed for Pumpkin. 🤦‍♀️ #catsofbluesky #cats #mycatiscuterthanyours Maybe she'll use it eventually.

My 7 y/o #cat, Pumpkin, has never been a TV watcher. Today, as she was resting on my lap, the TV caught her attention and confounded the heck out of her. She found it quite disturbing. Poor baby. 😂 😺 #catsofbluesky #cats

Woohoo. This purple is awesome!! The only question is how lightfast it is. The color is so dreamy. You can't really tell from these photos. Also, it's not dry yet so it will be lighter. #logwood #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicalart

My experience with #madder root for dyeing has been less than satisfying. That's okay though. Live and learn. #botanicalart #naturaldye #botanical

These two 48x48 paintings at Lorrie Lane Studio are like being bearhugged by a forest. And now, they're framed! #lorrielane #originalart #oilpainting #newart #forestlovers #treesofinstagram #artistsupportartists #artbylorrielane

I probably could have tried to do it myself, but I also could have made it worse. And it wouldn't look as nice. 😁

Two indigo pieces this weekend. Also, I washed all of my #sappanwood pinks and reds in the washing machine (on delicate) and they came out great. 👏👏👏 #indigodye #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicalart #indigo

These are all from my original #sappanwood dye pot, pulled out at different times over the past 24 hours. I love all the colors. #botanicalart

This weekend's dyeings. Time to figure out what I want to do with my new colors.

This was a white shirt until I dyed it with #goldenrod plants last month. Tonight, I overdyed it with #indigo, 4 dips. It will be lighter when dry and after I wash it again, but so far, I love it. #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicals

Working on a new dye color. Will take a couple days for results but I'm loving the potential.
