It is said that Alkanet derives from the Arabic word for Henna, and that the plant and its relatives were used for dyeing textiles. Not as you might expect from the Heavenly Blue flowers, but rather from the root. It seems that this radical extract is used for purples and blues if it's made alkaline, browns and reds if acidified.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think our insect probing the white heart of Green Alkanet is a male Red - or maybe even: Henna - Mason Bee, Osmia rufa; distinguishing marks are the long antennae and the white facial hair. But no doubt I'll be corrected by a Flickr Friend if I'm wrong...

Seeing some of @whatifchris‘ repaints in the past week really made me want to put myself outside of my comfort zone and try doing a custom repaint I’ve been wanting to attempt for a long while but I’ve been kind of scared to attempt.
After I put my Batman head on the Steve Trevor/Wonder Woman legged hybrid, I figured this was a good enough base to try experimenting on.
This was modelled after the Merman dye job trend (read more about it here: www.boredpanda.com/merman-colorful-beard-hair-dye-men-trend/ ) and I really wanted that 80s Lisa Frank pastel kind of gradient ombre effect.
I feel like something is missing or off about his face so I might try blushing his face to add some depth to his vinyl before I commit to wiping him lol.
These dye colors were so vibrant that even the gentle Portra film stock (comparing to Ektar for example) could capture them.

One of the more popular murals in Nashville these days (and there are a lot of them!!) is this tie-dyed "Nashville at Heart" mural with a catchy hashtag just to the left of the hand... #PeaceLoveGoodDeeds
This mural is located in the 12 South District of Nashville.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

So I heard iPoly dye would have been a better option for dyeing doll parts ever since RIT changed its formula and I finally got around to testing this theory. I decided to just follow the instructions since I wanted to see the extremes of this first before I try messing with it.
I got the powder version and there was only “Brown” instead of RIT’s expansive range of tan and browns and stuff. I basically boiled a pot of water and dumped in the liquid packet and the brown powder and let it get to a rolling boil, and then dumped in the parts and turned off the heat. I let the pieces soak for about two hours before taking them out and rinsing off under running water for a few minutes.
The parts I used was a vintage Midge head, a Korea Malibu Barbie, a 1974 Hair Fair Barbie, very yellowed Mod era straight arms and legs with a still pink Twist and Turn torso, Fashionista Nikki, Director Barbie head and Barbie Style Raquelle. The modern heads were just there so I could see how theyd work on modern dolls.
A few things to note. Holy crap, the colour is SO much more vibrant and works WAY more quickly than RIT dye has worked for both my Allan and Francie dye projects. To contrast and compare, this is two hours worth of soaking, while RIT dye took over 12 hours yet my Allan and Francie dolls are still relatively light toned.
Another thing to note is that iPoly actually dyes hair fibres, which RIT dyeing has NEVER done, so I was really surprised since every attempt at RIT dye often leaves blonde hair as is. If there was some way of protecting the vinyl, I would love try dyeing some blonde hair to be darker lol.
ALSO IPOLY DYE WORKS ON HARD PLASTICS. I’m sooooooooo very shocked that I was able to get that peachy light skintone as dark as it is cuz RIT dye has absolutely no effect on hard plastic.
If I were to do this again, I would dye the torso separately first then gently dip the other parts intermittently until they were the same tones.
I’ll report back in a week if these parts though lol.
Actor Lauren Zimmerman portrayed Moll Dyer during the Moll Dyer Day observation on February 26, 2022 in Leonardtown, Maryland. Dyer was a 17th-century woman set upon by an angry mob who believed her to be a witch. Chased from her home when the mob set it ablaze, she was later found frozen to death on a large stone that is now known as "Moll Dyer's Rock." The Moll Dyer Day and Weekend provided a nice balance between celebrating local ghost lore and recognizing Dyer as a real person who was unjustly subject to a violent death. The Town asked people posting pictures from Moll Dyer Day to add the hashtag #bekind, and compared Dyer's death to modern day bullying and intolerance. The weekend included lectures on 17th century indentured women and witch trials of that era, paranormal walks, a family scavenger hunt, a Moll Dyer themed cocktail contest, special meals and drinks around town, and this appearance by "Moll Dyer" that honored her life and legacy. The ceremony was held at the relocated Moll Dyer's Rock at the Tudor Hall Mansion, home of the St. Mary's County Historical Society.

Last week I took an old cream wool utility blanket, cut it up and dyed it six shades of autumn.
Let me think of some romantic names for these colours.
Now to piece it back together again in a loose patchwork.
Amtrak train number fifty-one, the Jose Cardenal rolls north through Dyer, Indiana. The Superliners on the head end are part of Amtrak's new and long-awaited Washington - Los Angeles thru-service ;-) The land cleared in the background will be the location of the South Shore Line's new Dyer terminal. Big thanks to Jim PRR Fan for the heads up on this.
In the fourth photograph in this series, it is the faultlines in the huge slabs of rock beneath the water that subtly shape the image, beneath the gently heaving surface - that, and the smoky haze drifting along the skyline.
Once a favourite with dyers who extracted a yellow/brown pigment to dye cloth and wool. It is inedible having a very sour taste It is velvety to the touch

This is a Fungus growing on especially birchtrees and the latin name is Inonotus obliquus….
I am making small samples to see how it will color the wool and the cotton..from bottom up...wool with alum, then the lightest brown is cotton and then the big piece is just wool without alum...

An unusual visitor to SW London this morning. Colas Class 70/8 No.70817 is seen passing through Dyers Lane, Barnes on the 28th of January 2020, working the 21:25 6M66 loaded cement tanks from Oxwellmains Lafarge to West Thurrock.
This flow normally travels down the MML to West Hampstead, and then onto the Goblin line via Carlton Road Junction. But due to a major derailment last week on the Goblin line near to Walthamstow Queens Road, which caused substantial damage to the track, this flow was diverted via SW London, Kensington Olympia, Willesden Junction & then due East via the North London Line.
A short drive from Huntsville Ontario, in the middle of no where there is Dyer Memorial.
It was 1916 when Clifton Dyer and Betsy Brown honeymooned in Muskoka, and it was a special cabin on the banks of the East River that claimed their affection each year upon their return. After Betsy’s death in 1956, Clifton built a stone memorial overlooking their beloved East River and the Valley below, and there, both Betsy and Clifton’s ashes remain in their final resting place.
Now a nature reserve.
I made tiedye shirts! My friends decided we should get into spirit week at school and start tuesday with the tie dye theme, so we got together at Chelseas and made shirts! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to make more. :D

This plant has been with us for a long time in Europe. Originally comes from the Caucasus and Western Asia. But has been also native in some parts of Eastern Europe as well. It had been used since ancient times a source of blue dye. The chemical that can be used as a dye is actually indigo, only it is a more diluted version that of the "true indigo" (Indigofera tinctoria) from India. After the Indian indigo was introduced to Europe, the use of this plant and the craftsmanship connected to fabric dying with this plant has gradually died out.
So called "blue painting" has been used for centuries to dye fabric with. In Germany it was called "Porzellandruck" ("Kékfestés" in Hungarian).

Q642 is coming right at you trying to get off the Monon Sub before the southbound Amtrak shows up. He's seen here crossing the old Michigan Central diamonds in Dyer, IN. Those are the ex EJ&E tracks in the background. Looks like SD50 8542 has lost at least one of its original number boards.
