SNE. We have a new member of the family today. Sold 5 rabbits at the market and brought home a lovely black-and-white doe! Also made a new friend at the market, a little boy who bought and showed me his two ducklings: Rosebud and Max.

Taking Robin's advice from yesterday's post I tried out a new dye today. I boiled onion and garlic skins to make a yellow dye for my painting, it worked quite well! Also started watching the new tv series Hannibal today. Interesting.

Something new everyday. Today I tried making some classic Batik-style artwork based on the paintings I saw in Indonesia and Uganda. This is step one: sketching and wax on white fabric. I'm trying to find dyes that won't wash out in water, what do you think is better: acrylic paint, fabric marker, or mustard?

SNE. Today I invented a new rabbit cage by attaching two top-halves of cages together resulting in one spacious, 4-door, easy grass access pen. Lovely. Also mailed a letter at quarter after eleven in the evening. Never done that before..
