As my son so politely put it, I have entered the 21st century having finally signed up for a Netflix account... just never got around to getting one but after being hounded by teenagers I signed up this morning. My daughter set it up on our Wii in the family room... when she was done watching something I was scrolling around the choices ( way too many choices! ) and found, ready, ( drumroll...) Twin Peaks! I have been watching it all afternoon as I worked around the house today! I forgot how kooky this show was!
I spent the time it took to watch the pilot for Twin Peaks ripping out the seams on a skirt that I never wore. The colors were really, really bright until I bleached it out yesterday...
I then got up and made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. While I was waiting for the cookies to bake I was walking around the kitchen tying up these...
The pieces of the skirt, a green scarf and my son's white t-shirt. Last night I was wandering around Pinterest and came across some Shibori pins and inspiration hit!
I had a tye-dye kit I had picked up because my son wanted to tye-dye one of his t-shirts.

| got this in AC Moore |
I found some wood scraps in the workroom, grabbed some green string from my stash
and tied up the pieces of the skirt I deconstructed and a green scarf I picked up a few years ago in Wal Mart on the cheap... if the whole thing bombs nothing lost ( never wore the skirt and barely used the scarf) .
I set up the kitchen table as the dying station as it was pouring rain this afternoon so tye-dying on the deck became a negative. The tied up pieces are all soaking in a soda ash solution.
I used the blue to dye my pieces. I added some red for purple accents on a couple...
Everything is wrapped up in plastic bags to cook for 12-24 hours...
Tomorrow morning I'll take the pieces apart and see what I get...
I'm impatiently waiting...
Well, back to Twin Peaks... :)
