Last autum, we picked a lot of mushrooms for colouring. It really was a good season, lot of beautiful weather and we were almost out picking every day. After a long winter, the spring is here so it is time to colour again. First, I did the Blodrød kanelslørsopp: Cortinarius sanguineus, it is one of my favourites. Last year, we used Alum as mordant, this year we are trying out Copper.</p><br /><div align="justify">But I cannot do anything without experimenting with Rustbrunpigg: Hydnellum ferrugineum. I dipped an watercolour paper in the boiled solution. Now it is in the window for light testing.

Flax has always been fascinating as a plant, a flower and as fiber as well. It is something that you read about, you see as ready made products in some shops, but you never get to see it processed, anyway not in your daily life. </div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfYZwdpHy34F7HGOaFyLKbRmCakZ2f8bQ0_ndzTmmuruWdoZlT_YXdpaQI0LyA9tdSyubdauyjIaN5MhKgsIkpqVgcYC_b7J6TKiVPwlajpEgYXiSGeBeHRjM25foz0NKGiEm-VUXBlts/s1600/lin2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504183623661092850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfYZwdpHy34F7HGOaFyLKbRmCakZ2f8bQ0_ndzTmmuruWdoZlT_YXdpaQI0LyA9tdSyubdauyjIaN5MhKgsIkpqVgcYC_b7J6TKiVPwlajpEgYXiSGeBeHRjM25foz0NKGiEm-VUXBlts/s400/lin2.jpg" /></a><br />The whole process was just amazing. From breaking the dried crop to beating it, to separating the fibers from the wood, and then to clear the fibers completely, all the procedure seemed to us as interesting as dealing with wool.

For a certain reason, some of them went with too little "twinning" while combining the 2 threads together. Among these yarns, here is our "English Confect" yarn. That is how it looked (up) and that is how it looks now (down). It is such an encouraging result that makes us very happy :)</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xRIxBWc3xGSr_eK7kX3WiCjxjkZwfqRfaBAM5hbna97leMTnXgX32pIGoR_EW3WmQJuuXzEUlfiM4SFfO6f8owGKgE34Wh39l1nKvcgNXMTdI24nPot6E3x2ljQYuDbgqOvbNyMaIAU/s1600/before3.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501579951435086850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xRIxBWc3xGSr_eK7kX3WiCjxjkZwfqRfaBAM5hbna97leMTnXgX32pIGoR_EW3WmQJuuXzEUlfiM4SFfO6f8owGKgE34Wh39l1nKvcgNXMTdI24nPot6E3x2ljQYuDbgqOvbNyMaIAU/s400/before3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX39xPkLi68vcjWXfMtDn2skp239I2_2xnWmSJYg3dJsLOMH2Qesjeyn2ygplo1F3ALAWR1_2ZhEK6a0xQqXr3YuKYhrOzzUjpkOA0dUi5rtBcD1-itbkoSWDpFLtas8iUD4z5ZEDYqCw/s1600/before4.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501579888781004674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX39xPkLi68vcjWXfMtDn2skp239I2_2xnWmSJYg3dJsLOMH2Qesjeyn2ygplo1F3ALAWR1_2ZhEK6a0xQqXr3YuKYhrOzzUjpkOA0dUi5rtBcD1-itbkoSWDpFLtas8iUD4z5ZEDYqCw/s400/before4.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div></div>troro - the artists behindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17007567767000804889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471404955584030900.post-4377930485780440972010-08-03T14:46:00.000-07:002010-08-03T15:06:09.624-07:00Furry Vacation !<div align="justify">All in all, we came back from vacation with around 20 kilos of wool and a big bag fulln of flax (linen), thanks to Eirik , Jon F. among others. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX2socM1PmmyrE7e1Qp-LE_dB6dCRrN1I8DlQDfm6EBAdjx5K-MYo8axD5gtdvmMuaoHAbWyQcB3YZPA99DnymUpikeDncg5nrXFoZrM7JshJEMmKMfYbo981MGI7A8zJQJsgDigsBiQ8/s1600/15kilo1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501303801687134866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX2socM1PmmyrE7e1Qp-LE_dB6dCRrN1I8DlQDfm6EBAdjx5K-MYo8axD5gtdvmMuaoHAbWyQcB3YZPA99DnymUpikeDncg5nrXFoZrM7JshJEMmKMfYbo981MGI7A8zJQJsgDigsBiQ8/s400/15kilo1.jpg" /></a><br />Most of the wool comes from "Old Norwegian Spælsau" in different colours: white, brown, black and all the tones in between.

Finally, our second spinning wheel has arrived from New Zealand. It is a little celebration here as we waited for quite a long time for this arrival. Although the design is called Suzie Pro, we needed to distinguish the two wheels from each other: we can't have 2 Suzies standing next to each other. We baptised the wheels as: Gilbert and George and we are very satisfied with the names.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFOq7HHyf2t_rApaRayeT3S2TVEsUAT-83riDHUh5oCRRujxUi1ODxXcR4cErLpag4qbG5vE8GuJPtzyTx-1TZWPjaWcHFx-1LZ2SqGhFxL5pA4S9xMMgGOmoZDOohMWl3OcgNhi0SxM/s1600/Gilbertandgeorge.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499072727311978706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFOq7HHyf2t_rApaRayeT3S2TVEsUAT-83riDHUh5oCRRujxUi1ODxXcR4cErLpag4qbG5vE8GuJPtzyTx-1TZWPjaWcHFx-1LZ2SqGhFxL5pA4S9xMMgGOmoZDOohMWl3OcgNhi0SxM/s400/Gilbertandgeorge.jpg" /></a>troro - the artists behindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17007567767000804889noreply@blogger.com0
