Star Trek

[elainegrey]

Since spiritchaser1 mentioned the Star Trek (2009) lens flares (as have many others), i said something to Christine about the "Star Trek was great, but um -- perhaps too many lens flares?" consensus. She suggests that it can be a drinking game.

I realize we could use it for a *candy* game: a piece for every flare. I'd have a sugar hangover the next day, for sure. *sigh*

Christine later suggests that perhaps i should have popcorn every lens flare.

Meeting today: committee meeting, mildly productive with a touch of irritation. Meeting for Worship: visualizing how to stack stenciled-resist in dyeing. BRAIN, why do you want to dye things????? Home to a cool apartment, to a spouse busy getting her control points straightened out before orthorectifying a new aerial image.

She suggests that maybe we could write geospatial mysteries some day.

Because dyeing things is freaking awesome, Miz Grey. Of course.

You gonna start playing with batik too? :-D

There's a guy at this conference wearing a shirt with a batik-like pattern that keeps distracting me.

I wouldn't do batik because the wax resist goes beyond my effort threshold, but I am curious about simpler starch resists.

first dw comment from phone: will it work?

It did!

You can try shibori. That's pretty sweet. Folded/tied resist, usually with a solid object underneath.

I found this blog entry this weekend:

I like -- i guess this is shibori -- because i can imagine using it for very delicate detail around collars and hem lines and cuffs and then having the more abstract results of LWI for the all-over clothing.

Hmm, looking at this

i wonder if i could experiment with shibori using bleach on denim scraps...
