On a beautiful morning in Oklahoma,

I strolled the grounds of a historic home. Now an art museum.

The gardens were lush.

The fountains beguiling.

The koi fetching.

The lily pads magical.

The gazebo beckoning.

The butterflies bashful.

As I enjoyed the quiet morning of solitude, I began to wonder...

Could I make that into a colorway?

Look at that texture and detail. Could I make that into a colorway?

And then, Is there any way I could paint that in my dining room?

Would that match my dining room table?

Then, inspiration struck like a thunderclap.

Three Irish Girls: The Alabaster Collection.

I could dye the yarn ivory!

Yes, the Alabaster Collection!

Yarn dyed ivory!

 I'm certainly glad I documented these shades of alabaster perfection. 

I wouldn't stand a chance of being able to replicate them once I got back to the studio.

Clearly, I am a genius.

After the release of the Alabaster Collection, perhaps I'll make this into a colorway.

 Now, let's talk about things I will not make into a colorway.

 

 

I know this is disappointing. I know you were desperately hoping for a colorway inspired by distorted, talking, face videos that say things like, "Hey, get off me!" projected onto fiberglass shapes.

I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry to report that I will also not be creating colorways from these.

You don't want to know.

No glow-in-the-dark-anatomically-correct-alien-butterflies, no sir.

They won't play well in Peoria. Or Tulsa.

Also, there are just some things up with which I will not put.

You can go back to bed now, I've got everything under control.

The end.
