Things I do to stay sane: - bake bread - make art - grow everything We gotta take care of ourselves so we can keep making good trouble.

#omgVivian for scale Now I need to decide what to do with this eye-mazing batik

Chickens on the porch. Eye batik in its final dye bath. Out of gray, mixed black and purple.

Today i wax the irises and some of the eyelash parts, then dye gray. Then I'll boil the wax out. #hotwax #waxanddye

Oof. I've been working on this all day. Covering everything i want to stay pink, purple, white with the wax. That leaves just the pupils and iris, and eyelashes that will go in yellow dye. 1-2 more hours before dyeing time #wip #dyeing #eyeart #moretroublethanitsworth #batik
