The creative juices are flowing and I've spent many nights in colorful dreams conjuring up new ideas - I always make small samples before I delve in to a larger project - last week I dyed some soft buttery yellow silk gauze in preparation for some nuno work but instead of looking soft and appealing, the sample looked rather sad and insipid so I took the plunge and overdyed the gauze in several shades of yellow and goldenrod with touches of pumpkin here and there which gave it just the right punch!
