Meddling in the Deep Sea

I'm back with more adventures in dyeing yarn and deciding what the colours mean.  

The colours for this were, as the title might lead you to believe, inspired by spiraling depths and mysteries unknown lying within the vastness of the ocean.  

I imagined sirens with sinister secrets, giant squids with long histories of destroying magnificent ships that stranded too far off written paths, mermaids with longing and fanciful dreams, and spectacular scales of creatures never witnessed by human eyes.   

Even though last week i said I wanted to work more on the pastel range in future projects (which I still do), I wanted these colours to be rich and vibrant.  Colours that make you want to live a life at sea.  

Overall, I think it turned out delightfully sinister and magical all at once.  There are areas that are illuminated by the white contrast to the colours, and there are stretches that are dark where I squished the colour into the entire section so that no light could escape through.  

I have no idea what it's going to be yet, but I love that it holds potential along with the mystery.  Full of adventures and secrets.

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
