now your wildest x-made dreams can come true

 

also a new batch has been borne of the wash  -

dye life lessons and tips from this round:

perfection is statistically unlikely

no matter the amount of planning, there are always surprises, and these are often the greatest gifts

less is more - no need to over-saturate your project

too much dye ? don't squeeze it out, it fades your color and muddies your crisp lines - instead place it over a grate so it can drip out while the dye sets

contemplate your color choices - [this is from someone who loves rainbows and has to exert self-control to not always default to the whole spectrum] often a small selection of colors will have more impact

custom work for High Five Freedom

1. don't think about what you are touching too much - life is dirty, be happy you are able to clean yourself afterwards and that you are aware of things like how to avoid infections and disease thanks to modern life

2. don't walk past, exclaiming 'ew' and leave it for someone else

3. roll up your sleeves

4. gather all of the particulate matter into the sink catcher - lift it out, empty the contents in the trash, being sure to hold your hand underneath to make sure there are no drippings befouling the floor.

5. repeat until all large bits are cleared out. doesn't it look much better [although it looked pretty cool with all the bits as well, like modern food art]?

6. left and side of sink - stick your hand into the hold underneath the place where the catcher sits, grab all bits and make sure the 3 small holes are clear. 'swish' your hand around deep in there! right hand side - remove all bits, and once clear, push lever under sink down if there is water which is not draining.

7. use angled head, or water holding container to rinse out the sink. scrub any last bits out with scrubber.

8. feel accomplished and joyful in your necessary work. you are an excellent citizen of the kitchen.
