It was an eventful, artistic weekend. I went to NY to visit Rachel, dye goddess extraordinaire. We turned 2 lbs of pure white merino and nearly a pound of silk into a riot of color. It's amazing what you can do with only 10 colors! The purplish silk was an overdye job - the rest was from scratch. The other silk (so hard to photograph!) came out a perfect Monet-inspired watery blend of blues and greens. I'm planning a lace shawl for that. The rest is still a mystery. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Matt added a little panache to his already-perfect left thigh. He gently modified this ancient Lascaux cave painting about a year ago and has been waiting for the right artist. Finally! It's perfect for him, with his history of archeology, history, and art.
Now I'm working on my design... designs... hmmm. A binkying black bunny is a must, probably on the scapula. And I'd like an SPQR, but I'm not sure about where to put that one. Matt says lower back, and I actually like that, but it would clash with the rabbit. I could combine the two concepts with a reworked Roman mosaic, but they are two very different things to me.

Oh wow! I LOVE Matt's new ink! It's gorgeous!
It must be the season - I keep plotting my next, and I'm getting closer to actually doing it. :)
I had fun too!! Matt's tat came out great! Can't wait to see it in person. I think we should go here to get inked: http://www.anilgupta.com/
I bet he can do the heck out of bunny fur.
Nice ink! Can't wait to see what you decide on next.
The cave painting tat is wonderful! I never saw one before.
Sounds like a great and productive weekend♥
