hangin' on rooftops

Very little more satisfying than a Monday off where the sun is shining.  In the future I want to learn to surf on Mondays, but today, the first weekday in June I tested out the Inkodye (a less toxic cyanotype substitute) on the roof.  Results will have to be posted later, they were subtle as I was working with blue on dyed silk, but I did a piece on white silk & it gives a good depth of color.  The intensity of the sun (late afternoon sun at that!) I'm sure also helped. 

The plastic shapes from Canal Plastics were fun, and the grates on the rooftop already helped fight against the avid wind.
