Albino Nudibranch


I can't bring myself to do it.
I think this piece should be enjoyed for its tactile, sculptural form and have no distractions due to colour.
and so I would like to introduce you to this first piece from my next collection, although the next time you see it it might have some cilia - they go through a juvenile stage where they are naked in terms of adornments.
Of course this means I will be stitching away on another length of silk so that I can dye the next species.

Incredible, what a wonderful blog you have (I have just found you via Kaizens blog).
Your dyeing work and experiments are great.
