A Colorful Week-end

IMG_1317

My dyeing workspace in the studio is covered with newspapers. I love the look of the splattered dye on the newsprint.

This week-end, I started working on dyeing the rainbow.

Here are my quarter yards marinating in dye and soda ash.

Here is a closeup of the purple. I love it. I can’t wait to wash these out and iron them.

I think I might have to redo some of the pieces which used orange in the recipe. My orange seems to be a lot stronger that my other dyes and has been overpowering. I will wait to see what I get before I jump in.

It was a busy week-end as it was Mr C’s birthday on Friday. We went out to dinner with Steph, Jack, and M & M on Friday night. On Saturday, we went to Lisa’s for dinner. Clay’s father and brother are here from Atlanta to go skiing.

    If you like the dye on the newsprint, you could overdye some of the commercial fabrics available with “word” designs, even newsprint types. Or for that matter overdye any fabric with black on white,etc.
