The Dynaflow paints made squares when dropped on this piece of silk. I was so astonished I spent a lot of time experimenting with it, and dragged a bunch of random friends over to come see it do it again. No one believed it until they saw it. This scrap looked like a wall, so I added some leaves to it. I like the one peeking out from the bottom corner best.

I had another idea before this. I was channeling Chuck Close and trying to make this leaf

into this postcard

BUT I realized I had a couple hours of embroidering to do, and had to apply a little more logic to the printing of it before I got to the embroidering of it… so you got the other one instead.

I also offer a dolly quilt:

and a pair of dollies that I thought were going to Etsy but Alice decided could not leave the house. Meet Marina and Penny.

I managed to mail a bunch of stuff – look for postcards if I owe you one – and get the elastic that holds my pannier on my bike so wrapped around the axle that it needs the nice bike dudes to take it apart and fix it for me. So I get to go flirt with them tomorrow. And bake Alice a cake. And prepare for an influx of 9 year old girls. woot woot!
