A little me time!
I had the dyes out as I needed some colours for my own personal challenge and before I tucked them away for another day I took some time out to splash some colour around ..... quite yummy , have nothing specific in mind, but they will be used down the line.

lovely fun colours. Look forward to seeing them used!
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious colours! So intense! My personal dye story is that I am working on a joint project with Marion and it took 10 yes 10 tries to get the appropriate colour dyed for the background. It is a green-black.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! Makes me wish I could go out and play with dyes. Fabulous results and even if you don't use them this time, what a collection to add to your stash. Distractions are good when they allow you to think and work things out a bit more clearly and if the results inspire, what better excuse?!
ReplyDeleteI have been treating myself to some of Frieda Anderson's dyed fabrics for a CQ project on tin mining. Watch this space later this year.

Lovely colours. I've been sorting through all my fabrics here to get more organised, and have found a lot of hand dyes from years ago. How I wish I had used a nicer fabric to do all my dye experiments, these are mainly on a fairly coarsely woven cotton that feels really hard.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are so bright that it seems as if a light is shining from behind the fabric to illuminate them. What dyes/techniques did you use for these?
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the delay in replying .. the site would not let me comment ? The fabric is cotton sateen bought of Heide Stoll- Weber - beautiful and I use procion fibre-reactive using Ann Johnstone's method. Works for me.
