Spools

Sewing headbands, definitely yet another thing I miss daily. Fancy silk headbands don't really work with coptic bound linen notebooks, so getting to sew them is a rare treat. When choosing colors I usually just tip over my small stash of silks and brutally eliminate until I'm left with the right number of colors. It's strange how that obnoxiously acid green silk works in certain contexts like nothing else, but on its own... uh, no. I get a rash from looking at it. It didn't make it through to the finals this time, it doesn't really match with eggplant (the cover leather is under the spools). I'll show you what I chose once I'm finished with the sewing.

Today I've been spoilt with beautiful winter light so no blog post in a while needs to go without photos just because of gray days. I wish I could breathe this light. Or just buy some on a spool.
