There’s not much new to show on the coverlet front (if you’ve seen one nine-patch you’ve seen them all?), so here instead is an update on the pecan dye trials. Don took the leftover dye and swabbed it liberally onto our concrete back porch, which mellowed the raw gray to a nice rusty patchiness.
He’s now in the process of further enhancing the look by discarding his brush cleaning water (surely there’s a better term for this) at the end of his acrylic painting sessions …
Talk about abstract … with much more to come.
And then there’s this …

Don’s not quite sure about the way it’s looking right now, but to me it’s a base that will just keep getting better …
