Take a bite

[Image ID: A digital drawing of two women, a human and a vampire. The vampire has blue-tinged skin, pointed ears with gold teardrop earrings, dark gray hair pulled up into a swirly updo, and a red coat jacket. The human has brown curly hair, tannish skin, gray eyes, and wears a gray sleeveless top. The vampire holds the human's hand, leaning forward to bite her neck with her eyes closed, while the human winces in anticipation. The lighting is harsh, and there is a decorative frame on the border. /End ID]

Title: Rikyusou

Rikyuso and safflowers With Autumnal tints Remind me of the end of summer And the beggining of autumn.

夏場に花を咲かせる 利休草に紅花などを添えると 夏の終わりを告げ秋の始まりを 物語ってくれているように感じられる。

Safflowers are a natural way to create yellow & pink hues for your textile and craft projects. These tiny petals are popular in the dyer's world because of the secret color they hold in the blooming flower. A simple soak brings you yellow, but a pH shift will invite a vivid pink into your dye pot. Join me as I explore both of these amazing colors. This tutorial will show you how to brew two dyes from safflower, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (cotton & silk) with various pre-mordants.
