Miserable colours are what inspire me ....and moths....while I will never be a neat embroiderer, I am pleased with the way the colours turned out..I dyed lots of squares of linen by dipping them in various pans of dye and overdying to get lovely muddy mothy colors!
those moths are wonderful, and the colours are perfect!
ReplyDeleteA lot of miserable moths (and miserable spiders) lurking in my shed these days, sheltering from the incessant rain, but none as attractive as yours...
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding. Those are the most modest and magnificent moths. The colors are beautiful- just the colors I wish I were wearing everyday. What type of dyes are you using?
ReplyDeleteDeliciously muted...tasteful moths!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you posted these amazing moths...
ReplyDeleteYOU are the inspiration!!! (well, and the moths at Liberty)

Lord love you danielle! I well remember dyeing madly the Sunday afternoon I left for west dean - I can imagine you in your kitchen dyeing concocting the colours for these beauties! Magnificent moths! Lined up like specimens - perfectly beautiful. Xxdi
