It’s almost time to dye a new batch of colours for this silk velvet, as i slowly work through offcuts and scraps!
Learning to handle this slippery fabric has taught me a lot as well. It has its limitations–i can’t work intricate shapes or teeny weeny pieces, and certain manipulation techniques just don’t co-operate, but the pleasures abound for piecing, embroidery and beading. And after having moved so many bead containers recently, i realized i really should be using them!
A bit of embroidery and beading still to do on the upper right side to balance it a bit as well.
I love the high contrast of these colours, that old complementary colour theory thing. Oranges and reds against blues has long been a favourite of mine, so i may do a few of these š (photo below, “Hoodoo Sky” in progress, 2009)
I have 2 more colourways planned as well, indigo against chocolate and mango, and indigo against blush and coral:
albedo too 
Iām looking forward to seeing more of Hoodoo Sky! Looks fascinating.
