this is how it looks on a hanger, and you can see how nicely these Bella+Canvas shirts drape #tiedye #icedye
really wishing i had a mannequin-type thing

color magic #tiedye #icedye
a silicone ring full of ice, on a metal rack, with powdered dye & soda ash sprinkled on. the color was originally all tan, but as the ice melts, much of it is turning blue.

very bright pink lil flowers, called ‘pinks’, in a raised bed, hugged by short, budding lilies. next tier up is a sprouting, small hydrangea, surrounded by some very yellow-leaved ground cover which i’ve somehow never googled. ground-level: lower right - wild mint-family?? upper right - creeping thyme

today was all about the letter C, apparently. cat mug, coffee, celestite, car (camry), and, out of frame, croissant with chocolate on the inside.
a mug & a paper coffee cup. in front of those, there’s a paper tag & a stone attached to a keyring by a short chain, and car key, also on the ring. the tag reads “promotes inner peace, tranquility”. the mug has a black & white drawing of the upper body of a cat, with a pot of pink flowers in front of it.

bought this scarf/shawl for myself, before the surgery, over a year ago. i had to take about a foot off each end, and then reinforce the hem, all the way around. but after all that, i finally got it dyed! and i’m so happy with it 😸💕
a tie dyed scarf/shawl, laid out on the floor. it’s a geode pattern in raspberry-type colors. it looks sort of like a giant crescent moon, shape-wise. a closer look at a curved part of the raspberry-hued, geode-patterned scarf. a closer look at a different part of the raspberry-hued, geode-patterned scarf. this area has some minor blue highlights, and the area on the left reminds me of some sort of animal shape, maybe.
