How could I leave this chair sitting on Craigslist? I waited one month to inquire, then talked myself out of it, then waited another month and the owner still had it. I went crazy over it when I first saw it so I'm thinking it was meant for me to have it. Its not the most comfortable chair but it'll do for short spells. I use it at the computer at the workshop. I picked up an older and much used cordless iron yesterday that I found on Craigslist. It works great for me to iron on my cutting table.
I washed out the green fabrics dyed with iDye Tuesday. The fabric on the left is a poly-cotton blend that I previously used last year when I was experiementing with transfer dyes (which are not for me). The iDye worked well with the transfer dye which are the graphic lines. The fabric on the right is a blend also but a mystery...it feels like linen but behaves like spandex. I'm thinking there is more natural fibers which accounts for the loss in colour.

I returned to making the panels for my Poetry Series. I used the back of the fabric I painted with the acrylic paint mixed with the GAC 900 because it shows more texture. I'm adding the circles here with regular fabric paint and acrylic ink.
