poor lil blue




so, some things do not belong in the dyepot.
critters, i mean.
i'm not sure how he (she?) got in since there was a lid on it, but i did have it open for a while the other evening while i was experimenting.
he must have been curious.
too bad he couldn't have crawled back out and continued on about life, a little bluer.
for me, lots of fresh dyepots today. bronze fennel and dahlia soaking and steaming.
rip, beautiful.

    1. grace, thanks for this. it makes sense that it was his time, otherwise surely he'd have crawled right out. and i couldn't agree more with this being the way to go. that's exactly how i'd like to go too when my time comes. see you in the great indigo beyond.
