I've come to the realization that I do not have the skills nessicary to make this project work out the way I want it to. The over all affect turned out well, it did what I wanted (despite a few places were the knot's tore through the faberic grrr). However. The only way to get the results that I want with the overlay faberic would be to mount it. Unless part of the problem it doesn't work is because it's just too dark in this house which is possible.
Unfortunately the satin doesn't take color very well except when it's white. So that over dye worked but it did not come out as dark as I wanted it to. However it will look good with an underlayer that will pop out the lighter color and the darker color (not as dark as I wanted it to be) will look better. It did turn out a pretty shade of purple but I wanted a nice deep blue.
I have the undefinable urge to creat/do something but no idea what I need to do. It's like a spring pressed down wanting to released but no direction to go. Or a bouncy ball that keeps bouncing around a tiny box (reminds me of a game I used to play on my dad's old laptop where you tried to catch the bouncy balls in the smallest box possible), it's frustrating. And maybe that's the cause of the feeling frustration with this project and not good idea of what to do to make it work now.
The only idea I can come up with is to cut the overlayer and sew it on leaving bits out to make them stand out more. But if I'm going to take the time to do all that I might as well take the time to do all the stitching (which took me a good five hours to put in to begin with) in again and dye it the third time like I want to.
These allergies are driving me nuts. My eyes itch and it's iritating my contacts but I can't were my glasses because my perscription is so out dated that they don't work for much other then general short term functioning and definately not for driving. Ugh. This is what the stupid eye allergy drop things were supposed to take care of. Yes go spend money you don't have on this stupid med. it'll make it all better (we hope), stupid bull. Okay before I go off on our societies dependancy on medication I'm going to shut up.
Lyrics because they are shiny. Then I will *poofs out* and leave you all be.
Beautiful girl
Won't you be my inspiration?
Beautiful girl
Don't you throw your love around
What in the world, what in the world
Could ever come between us?
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl
I'll never let you down
Won't let you down
Oridnary Day - Dolores O'Riordan
