Tie-Dye Mania

There is no shortage of tie-dye clothing available at the moment: both the high street and designers are furiously peddling their take on the trend. I got quite heavily in to tie-dye last summer. My first attempt since childhood took place in Camberwell, see here. Min and I were hooked. Here we are a few months later in Portugal and up to our elbows in buckets of salt and dye.

It's a very fun, inexpensive project. If like me your white t-shirts don't stay that way for long, or your other half is chucking theirs out - save them up for a Dylon sink session. I get dye from eBay (or your local art shop, when it reopens), but the Dylon website is helpful to see the full range of colours.

Francesca Woodman

Untitled, Francesca Woodman, 1979
I've been a fan of Woodman's work for a long time - and written about her a few times on this blog over the years. I was reminded of this beautiful picture when looking at the catalogue from last years exhibition at the Tate Liverpool, which showed Woodman's work alongside Egon Shiele's.

Lartigue in Colour

 Florette, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, 1954
Florette and Picasso, Vallauris, 1955

Taken from the beautiful and inspiring book A Life in Colour by Lartigue. Florette was Lartigue's wife of 41 years, and 27 years younger than the photographer. Breathlessly beautiful throughout.
