I bought some Jacquard pre-treated cyanotype fabric months ago that I’ve been meaning to experiment with— and last night was finally the night! My friend is hosting a jean jacket bedazzling party which I am SUPER excited about, so I decided to make a cyanotype patch out of a digital design— and oooooh it turned out even better than I hoped for!

It’s extra satisfying because I created a top ten list of priorities at the beginning of the year and one of them was to finish a craft project I’d already started or for which I’d already purchased supplies, so this patch making definitely counts towards that goal!

I also have a set of the chemicals on their own and a stash of things to apply it to, like tote bags and canvas pouches! Plus I’ve got some pressed flowers I gathered while camping last year that I’m excited to use for more floral designs. Hooray for being inspired by the things I already own instead of chasing the new shiny thing! Can’t wait to do more cyanotype projects!!!

The quote is from the Desiderada, the font is Shrikhand, and the circle of leaves was drawn by me in Procreate.

It’s not all printmaking here— one of my biggest passions is ceramics! I took a class in high school and loved it but wasn’t able to get back to it until 2022, then I had a wonderful year and a half spent in studios around town before the financial aspect caught up with me. I still have all my supplies just no space to do it (and no kiln access!) so hopefully someday in the future I’ll be able to get back to it.

Here’s one of my absolute favorite pieces, a little vine jar with a crescent moon handle! She makes me so happy. ❤️

Last night's aural entertainment was Terry Riley's "Descending Moonshine Dervishes" (1975) (1), so the Brain DJ is fighting back this morning with –

Pretty Things, "Singapore Silk Torpedo" (1974, live OGWT 1974)

1) If you prefer to relax with Terry Riley's 50-min minimalist modern classical piece performed in 1975 and released in 1982:

Transcendence is Jukebox Friday Night's theme, but we've missed the chance to make the theme "Trancendance". Oh well.

Continuing with word play, I offer a track by a band that was nearly banned from NZ after their 1965 tour.

Pretty Things, "Parachute" (1970)

Stay until the end of the track: that's when it transcends this earthly plane. Headphones recommended.
