Category — Silk veils

Please bear with me as I test out a new-to-me plugin. If you click on the image, you get a larger picture overlay, which is an improvement to my old method of linking to a different window. Any feedback about how this works out at your end would be greatly appreciated.

Here is “Am I Blue” hanging on Bambi. The patterning is exquisitely detailed and I’m having a very hard time deciding whether I want to sell it or not. That seems to be happening a lot lately!

Time flies, especially when it’s time off. I haven’t been hard at work at all! What a wonderful feeling to have time to enjoy the tender buds of spring!

I will spare you the description of my rather mundane exploits while I was off and will leave you simply with a few pictures of new pieces added to the eBay store. I’m sure nobody wants to hear about my vacuum cleaner bursting into flames, the flower pot of dirt burting into flames on my balcony while I was away, or my coffee maker exploding its contents all over the kitchen. (there’s a theme happening there that I’m totally going to ignore and just call coincidence!)

I love “Pink Gothling”. I have no idea how I got the pink at the bottom to turn out with that wonderful undertone of violet in contrast to the darker cherry pink at the top. Great black shibori overdyeing marks.

Oooh… “Devil Woman” is so hot, and bad-a**. I’d love to see the look on a dancer’s face when she opens this one out for flight!

And this one, up for auction right now, starting at .99 cents :

I’m rather dissapointed with this one, as it’s a fantastic piece, but the silk is flawed throughout. I have to admit that I quality check this stuff at the microscopic level while I am ironing; I just can’t let that pass, but I don’t think I would miss much with that level of scrutiny. Five momme silk is so tender and shows warp and weft so clearly, it’s often flawed right off the bolt; not my favourite at all, but it’s my very last piece … ever!

I keep saying that, but keep finding stashes of it I didn’t remember stashing. I’m blaming my forgetfulness on the fact that I am now officially “grey powered” … lol.

It’s light as a feather though and the patterning and colours are out of this world gorgeous. Many dancers can make ultralight veils work for them and enjoy it, so up for auction it is so it finds a good home. Good luck!

Spring fever is in the air! While I’m busy sweating over some spring cleaning, this is your chance to get your own hot little hands on this fiery, passionate four yard beauty. It’s up for auction on eBay, plain and simple.

Sorry the posts are so short, but Wordpress is still wonky for me. If you click on the image, it will bring you straight there.

Yes, among all my newest listings on eBay, there’s also one of my dogs up for auction. 

It won’t bite, really. It’ll please somebody for sure, just not me. Starting at .99 cents, there must really be something that bothers me about it though. I’m so not the auction type of girl these days.

If you’re brave and bold, get it while you can!
