Dreaming Spirals

I am not well at the moment - I have a nasty fluey sort of bug - I started shivering yesterday and it took a hat, 2 duvets and a fleece jacket to get warm.  I have been sleeping a lot today and feel a bit better now.  Let’s hope it’s a quick one.  I have felt as though I was going down with something all week - very lethargic and depressed.   But I am doing a swap on one of my Etsy street teams and I decided to do some sunprinting earlier in the week.  Here are a few details of it so as not to give the game away!

Here it is when it was nearly dry.  And here is another corner of it when heat set and washed:

The bottom picture is more the colour.  I took the first photo outside.  The sun didn’t come out very much that day but luckily I caught 20 minutes of it!  It is a silk scarf.

Of course, I mixed the wrong colour first so I had to do another one!  This is a part of it:

This one didn’t come out as well as the first but I painted into it with some red silk paint.  I will put up a picture of it when it is finished.

Finally, there is a blackbird’s nest on one of the stone lintels of our house, behind the wisteria.  This photo isn’t a very good one but you can just see two of the birds’ eyes poking out if you look closely.  I had suspected that there was one because a blackbird kept flying into the wisteria so I had a good look and there they were!  I think they’ve fledged now though.

This was taken out of our bedroom window!
