This experiment page actually looks a lot better in person. The colors have shifted on screen.
I did a lot of dyeing yesterday. In addition to the yellow and what was called aqua marine but actually shifted to more of a straight blue on silk, I used two dyes that had the word red in their names, but which turned out to be variations of very intense pink. So altogether a rather brighter pallet than I would prefer. Still, I learned a lot and am getting my procedure down so that setting up and cleaning up don't take up the whole day.
Good gosh. Just looking at these bright colors makes it impossible for me to think about poetry, even a haiku.
Blue scarves, yellow scarves
Who would wear so much sunshine
and sea--all at once?
Ok. As it turns out, there is apparently nothing that can stop me from writing bad, bad, bad poetry.
