Mmm. Delicious Madder Reds.
Mmm. Bright Buckthorn Yellows.
Let's put the second exhausts together and see what we get...
... some Pale Peachy Oranges:
I love it that Natural Dyeing is always surprising me with it's colour combos. Always blow away that these colours come from nature and plants. The earth really does provide enough.
Some more yummy eye candy & experiements:

Okay, this is kind of a long video, but it's a Haul-type knitting themed thing. If you want to hear me chatting about the books, yarn and etc that I'm loving right now and see me pull stupid faces and say 'um' quite a lot... this is the vlog for you! Haha.
Enjoy!

So, there was that time that I had blue/green hair and I filmed a video of me goofing around listening to music at my desk. That was in 2010. I found that video over the weekend & it was too presh not to make something with it. haha. Here it is, enjoy:
For those of you that follow me on my silly twitter account where I give my thoughts on movies/series/books (kimwatchesstuff) and on Vine you'll know that I am a complete idiot in real life. haha. Okay, maybe not- but I am pretty geeky. :] This video should not surpise you. Also, I love you all & especially those of you who aren't afraid to get a little silly! kimxo

Whilst filming for my Channel project- Ame (a fellow Illustration student) came and helped out with some of the more 'close up' shots of the Natural Dyeing process. Ame did a beautiful job- and also snapped these amazing film photos during the day.
I love the overexposed, dreamy quality to these photos & check out this drawing Ame did too! Magic.
Of course- Negs was no help at all- the lazy little kitty cat. hehe. But she does like it when Ame comes round and brings treats! :]

Hello everyone! Love, Elycia and I are doing a fun little video series where we ask and answer fun questions! Here are my first questions for Elycia (and YOU too, if you want to play along- just link in the comments to your video responses or answer them with written words. :] Also if you want to ask us questions- feel free!)- enjoy!
P.S. I do realise I said 'reading' when you are clearly 'watching' near the begining and another word slip-up near the end. I'm only human. haha.

Life lately has been FILMIMG and DYEING and then resting and then repeating! Like- it's not a bad life, but I just want to draw and knit! haha. Here are some photos of me doing light tests. These are the not-so-embarrasing ones.
(OH... and that hanging up... that is a sneek at some new yarn coming to the shop!)
Okay. Time to go edit and get sqaure eyes from watching myself say stupid things on camera! Love you! kxo
p.s. these are for college- the Channel project. Yes. It looks like a craft show... because it is! CRAFTING WITH KIM! Are you excited? I'm excited.

So- after 2 years of living in my little flat, I am finally getting things up on the walls! Haha, I'm so bad, I know. I've needed a good way of storing my little odds and ends of wool, and since I'm running out of floor space, I couldn't just have a big bucket of wool. I love organising my things by colour- especially wool, so this is what Mum and I came up with!
The baskets are a good size, because they don't stick out that far from the wall either way, and are a simple design so you really notice the colours. We just hung them on nails (two for each) and I can easily take them down (lets say, if I was working on something with lots of greens) for projects.There's no magic tricks here- you just need to pack as many balls of wool so that none fall out- they will hold eachother up. [:
It's so pretty to look at, and gets me inspired everyday when I wake up! Negs isn't too sure about it though, becuase it means less balls that she can play with. haha.
Love, kxo.
p.s. how fun would it be to have a whole big wall full of different sized baskets all hanging with wool in them! <3
