Dying results

Dying turned out to be a lot of fun.  A bit messy, a bit chaotic and always interesting.  This was my set up, many of the girls used plastic ziploc bags for their dying.  I think some wanted colors and fabric that turned out more solid.  I really enjoy getting very mottled colors so I use plastic food containers for my colors.  here was my set up on that evening.

These were the base dyes that Wendy brought and the laminated recipe cards that we used for the dyes.  On the bottom of the picture was a sample book that Wendy had made up so we had an idea of which recipe we wanted to use.



Things were pretty orderly at first, lots of decisions of what colors to do.

The following are my batches of colors

This are some of my favorites out of the bunch.  I am always amazed how the dye takes to wadded up fabric.  And I go in with no expectations.  I'm happy with whatever I end up with.

I love the almost crystalline effect of some of the pieces.

Well we all survived and really not to spattered in the end.
