Since I dyed anything new. Been trying to catch up on started projects, trying to whittle down the stash- yeah right, like that really works. Etsy has dried up for me. *shrugs* Been 3 months since I sold anything. Haven't listed anything new in as long. Between their consistant technical problems causing the site to be offline more often than it's up, it seems, lately, and no sales, I don't see the point in listing new things and causing my inventory to become overwhelming. So right now, I'm biding my time, letting what's listed run it's listing timeframe and possibly won't relist it. Who knows, maybe if I start showcasing things here again, I'll pick up a few sales.
So while Mark was bitching at Dell Tech Support for 3.5 days running, I decided to dye some Kona Cotton. I'd gotten an idea from a picture I'd seen, the name of the piece popped itself in my head and said MAKE ME NOW. I spent the next 2 days between testing colors to see which would look best, 'pop' best on the blue, and perfecting exactly how I wanted it to look. What you see above is the result. The purple/orange/blue/muddy piece will be the back. The orange/brown piece is where I was deciding which exactly orangish color I wanted to use (Pumpkin Spice won out over Golden Oak and Curry) on the blue/orange piece which is the front, the blue is actually Baby Blue and Robin's Egg Blue, heavily watered down.
It'll be a smaller piece, roughly 20" long x15"wide, I plan to have some beading on it, but beyond that, it hasn't said. Heh. I'm thinking of entering it in this year's Mountain Comforts Quilt Show, this October. We'll see. After that, most likely offer it up for sale . The orange isn't as bright as it looks wet, it's more muted, which is fine, as I think it works best that way. It'll still stand out, that's for certain.

Yes, I'm still using Photobucket, currently. My account was/IS paid up through October, so I'll be damned if they get my money for free. They never did respond to my other email though.
Wow. Simply WOW.
