Exploring Green and Other Stuff.....


While the cat's away, part of the 'dye studio' functions off the dining room table......

....but the really messy stuff continues in the laundry......
(Mind you I think I make more mess there than I ever did on the table....)
Warm yellow arashi.

This was tied with string at regular intervals then scrunched up - the lines are a little too regular I think.


Lemon yellow - same process and result.....

Green #1 - lemon yellow and blue.

Batch underway - warmth improves the results and it was quite warm that day...

The green collection......

Lemon yellow and blue..

Lemon yellow and a touch of black.....

Warm yellow (lemon and a touch of orange) plus a touch of black.....

Purple (fuschia and blue) and lemon yellow.......

Purple (as above)and turquoise

Playing with complements - orange and turquoise - dry fabric didn't all come into contact with dye so blotchy results but some good bits in amongst it........

Lemon yellow re-tied from opposite direction (but not so tightly and with more twist) then overdyed with blue - much mor exciting.......

Warm yellow overdyed with blue (as above)......
That's it for now - I have a plane to catch. Hope to be back next week with other news......
