I love soup. In fact, my favorite is Thursday night soup–soup made from leftovers of the week, all thrown together into a pot and seasoned accordingly–maybe with cumin, but always garlic and onion. Usually it turns out pretty good. Sometimes it’s horrible.
Eco printing, for me, is kinda like that soup. A little this, a little that, and sometimes the combination is divine. Of course, sometimes it’s not…absolutely not…unsalvage-ably bad. Those duds aren’t happening with quite the regularity they once did. For one thing I’ve finally started making notes of a sort. And I’ve finally begun sampling as well. These two practices have helped me avoid a lot of pitfalls, but the duds still happen, just less frequently.
There’s something else I’ve noticed about my eco prints. Sometimes I really want order. Geometric repetition. Sometimes I want chaos. Often I go for monochromatic results but more often than not I’m craving color. Today’s scarves fall into this latter category–controlled chaos and a lot of color. Wednesday soup de jour.
