It is hot today, I have left my tapestry out in the heat. Someone suggested that I might singe it with flame but I think the sun is plenty hot enough and can carry the element of fire for me.
I have taken it out of the earth for the time being, am just letting it bake in the sun. I might try putting some leaves or other big thing that might work as a stencil/resist and see if that has any effect. I doubt it but I will try it anyway.
I am about to go out and hang the washing, the first things will probably be dry by the time I hang it all out. Ah, Summer!
Even the flowers are getting burnt.
At least I have discovered that the dried up flowers do produce colour, so I don't have to race out first thing every morning to get them before the sun gets to them.
But first I have to get over the heat and find some energy.

That all sounds very interesting Mary. I do look forward to seeing your treated tapestry, February maybe ? These hotter days are certainly going to bake it well and truly. It might even benefit from some rain to follow. Keep cool! Pat
Actually, it is currently in a wheelbarrow that filled up with water in the heavy downpour we had a few days ago. It is at the stage where I forget about it, so I should go and look now I suppose. The back is currently more interesting than the back. Not a lot of change though, it is just looking rather dirty. Still, there is still a month to go. Who knows what will befall it?
Of course, I meant that the back is currently more interesting than the front!
