Burst balloon.
I put the balloon lampshade cover into its dye bath on saturday and then ran it through the wash overnight.
Yesterday we took it out and it was covered in little tears, I pulled the fabric a little and it tore instantly, the whole thing is disintegrating.
poor mrs Stokely* has no balloon anymore.
I'm going to get a new cover, or maybe a big paper lampshade (a ball shaped one that will look even better) but nevertheless it makes me a little sad.
I'd hoped to pass on a little bit of my childhood to Ellie, now it's broken
*the name of the cat in the balloon basket.
