Dye and Mac Madness (aka: how I spent my vacation)

[liber_noctuae]

what a week.  I got my new mac book (still thinking of a name for him)!  This makes me very very happy.  Now I can store all my music on my hard drive and not have my processors overload every 5 seconds.  Also, I've been experimenting with dyeing with black beans.  The colors I'm getting are just amazing, and from something so simple and easily

Thanks! I'm always amazed at the colors I can get. I just discovered that people have been getting reds from avacado skins and pits... *eyes avacados on the counter*

those colours are *amazing* ! what are you gonna do with it ? :)

oh, and JEALOUS of your new computer :) I want a new one too, but mine is only 3 years old so I can't justify it yet...

Thank you! I ah...I hadn't thought that far ahead. I had all this white cotton that I got on sale and I knew I wouldn't use it unless I dyed it (starting at acres of white on the loom is painful). I've been making scarves with twills from weaver's notebooks dating from the 17th and 18th century, it would probably be really pretty to do some in "authentic" colours as well :)

Even though I always cringe at laying out the big bucks for anything, it's been 4 years, and my old mac couldn't open things like iphoto without everything else crashing. It was time.
