The realm of everlasting youth, beauty, health, and abundance; a realm of no age or decay, falsehood, sadness, gloom hatred or envy. [Wikipedia]  This colorway is a special PRE-ORDER only colorway to celebrate my 40th birthday. My favorite color is green, so I decided to create a special colorway around it.  Tir na nÓg is a mixture of a spearmint green speckled with two more shades of green, little speckles of purple (with bits of blue and pink where the dye broke) and golden toffee.\r\n\r\nPre-order opens February 3rd 2025 and will close on February 10th at 11:59pm Central. Skeins ordered will be dyed in the order they are received. Shipping is expected to begin around February 24th.

With these paintings, the emphasis is placed on the beauty of each individual stroke of the brush, and often viewed as \"painting a poem\".  The Sumi-e paintings are created with the Four Treasures - the ink stick, ink stone, paper or silk, and the brush. The ink stick is not like your traditional ink; it's made from collecting the soot from inside the kilns and then mixed with glue and pressed into a stick. It becomes liquid ink by grinding the stick into the ink stone with some water.\r\n\r\nWhen this rich charcoal colorway came out of the dye pot, Sumi-e paintings were the first thing I thought of!
