Fresh color
A new color wheel, design shared by my friend who got it from her teacher. Primaries, secondaries, tertiaries and an inner circle of neutralized colors (a bit of complementary added).
I’m working on some dyeing. It seems to come along with early March. This Nani Iro double-gauze remnant interested me because the figuration was so subtle. And seems to be random. What if it could be made more apparent with dye?
The other dyed fabric is two squares of duppioni silk. I had two colors, now I have four. I realized I don’t like large squares of this silk in patchwork because they get abraded and become a little fuzzy and catch on things, like rough winter hands. So smaller pieces in more colors is perfect.
I thought I’d try drying it in the sun, but it was too windy. This old tangle of catmint held the scrap for awhile.
And in kitchen news:
I harvested some overwintered spinach from the hoophouse. I can’t believe this made it through the cold winter. We used insulating row cover at night and also a layer of silvered bubble wrap insulation if it was very cold.

Equinox. the moments Between, and now….toward the Light
Toward the Light, yes, that thought can tie this post together.
your color wheel put me in mind of gemstones … and I especially like that complementary inner circle
I really enjoy making the color wheels. The right combination of precision and expression. Including the complementaries is very helpful to my eye.
