. A scant 2 hours available to get the bucket o' dye started and try out a few types of fabrics and stitching/tying/clamping techniques.Above is overdyed slubby silk.
Then some finer silk with embroidery that's as interesting on the back as on the front.
Had to try out cottons too - here a Lowe's nail pouch (!!! hey it was 77 cents - couldn't pass it up!!) and a thrifted pillowcase.
With a hint of how to do the basic dyeing - now to prep some more interesting pieces!!
oh! yes, yes, yes!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, if these are just for starters I can't wait for the main course, these are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese are super. Someone brought me a packet of instant indigo but I have not tried it. After seeing this, I will put it on my list.
ReplyDeleteP. S. Where in so Fla are you?
Oh wow. So cool. Gorgeous fabrics. I had wondered about those indigo dying kits I saw in JoAnns when I was working there, but never got up the courage to do it or made it a point to budget it in for purchase. I'm especially enjoying the face on the cloth in that first picture.
