Natural Dyeing, Spinning, Weaving, Other Fibre Arts, Gardening, Cooking, Costuming, and. Sunday, 29 June 2014. But my man had a plan. It started with some shorter pieces, two splitting wedges and a sledge hammer. The wedges were being alternated along the length, like they were playing leap frog. Longer logs required two sets of hands, taking turns. As the afternoon progressed, the pile of split rails got bigger. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Labels: my old house. Wednesday, 25 June 2014.

Natural Dyeing, Spinning, Weaving, Other Fibre Arts, Gardening, Cooking, Costuming, and. Friday, 28 November 2014. First take a bunch of yarn and cut it up into bits. I'd have done smaller bits, but it's been a bit difficult because of that -. It is interfering with all sorts of activities. Then I spun the rolags, using a long draw. Mainly the chopped up bits are securely spun into the singles. But every once in a while, one of the bits gets flicked off the fibre. It creates a fun yarn with a...I had a w...

Sustainable Batik: wax temperature
http://sustainablebatik.blogspot.com/2009/03/wax-temperature.html
Musings, investigations and research into creating a sustainable batik practice. Monday, 9 March 2009. Not very scientifically controlled, nevertheless I have been measuring the temperature of wax in my Tixor Malam waxpot. Usually I have had it at its highest setting (7). I can only speculate the temperatures above setting 4 as the thermometer stopped just beyond 110C. So approximately, 5 - 116-120C, 6 - 126-130C, 7 - 136-140C (240.8-248F, 258.8-266F, 276.8-284F). It says a Tixor Malam heats only to 135C.

Musings, investigations and research into creating a sustainable batik practice. Wednesday, 15 October 2008. Frugality (blog action day - poverty). Frugality does not mean poverty or deprivation.
