yarnhead and squarewords
Hubba hubba. Does my yarnhead turn you on? Heh. I will make this yarny bit work. I'm feeling a bit higher and not just because we got to lead the magical creatures parade to the neighborhood fair today. Yep, all marchy and stompy and magical, we were right behind the fire engine and we rocked those 3 blocks!
Nope, I'm feeling better all around. Givin' it time, workin' hard, makin' secret plans. A few people let me know that they'd love to see handspun in larger quantity, and that is what my original plan was, so I'm gonna start (though it's too late this week) doing some larger lots, maybe 200-500 yards.
As for Studio Saturdays...
Have I mentioned my cutie little elfie Design I teacher. He's just adorable. I wanna tweak his nose and have him dance around me making little clucking sounds. And his class rocks! I wish I had the project we did last week but he collected it. I'll post it when I get it back. However, I do have this week's assignment. Which was to make a bunch of thumbnails of 4 black squares on one white square that represent 10 different words. Then you choose your best 6 thumbs and did larger one, but still only 4 inch by 4 inch. The black squares could be any size and overlap or be cropped on the edge. 
Then we were supposed to mount 2 on 3 pieces of bristol board, either using a thick black boarder of paper, or a thin border ruled off by pen, and the word written under. Hem. Lots of explaination, eh?
Here's mine. Do they evoke? Invoke? Revoke? Revolt?
The words are, from left to right, top to bottom -- playful, falling, bold, order, lonely, and congested. You may have to click on the pic to be able to really see.

Posted by: natasha fialkov at September 19, 2005 09:45 AMoh shit, it posted twice...anyway, i found that company that makes the dye for the ingeo...do you know it is industrial dye, and i think you have to mix it with lye? ack! so maybe i may not be dyeing ingeo. i may try the fiber reactive and see what happens.
Posted by: natasha fialkov at September 19, 2005 10:02 PMOoh. I have you bookmarked and I stop by occasionally to oogle the yarn (particularly Sowing Oats :-), but the limited quantities have kept me from ordering yet. 100-500 yards would be fantastic.
Posted by: Lizzie at September 20, 2005 12:50 AMhey I've been sneaking around your site for a while and now that I am finally a member of the crazy world of blogging I though I'd say hello and tell you I LOVE your yarns and color combinations. They are definately an inspiration!
