Fabric Dye Day






Yesterday I was able to spend a big chunk of the day experimenting with dyeing fabric. Annie and Wallie from our Studio 105 design group were dyeing fabric on Monday during our group meet. The fabrics they made were so delicious! I gave it a try and I had some great results too. I tried using rock salt on a few but I didn't do something quite right as I didn't have much result with that. I need to check back with Annie and Wallie and see what I omitted! Still, it was great fun.

Sonja you crack me up!! It did not occur to me to incorporate other variables at this time... grass... etc.... you know when you are a newbie and you try to do everything exact and just right... thinking that will help influence a "successful" outcome... silly newbie artist minds!
