I'm Still Dyeing Here!
As promised, I got out in the garage today and did all the same treatments with black dye. Just like the article said, all other color other then red, blue and yellow are made up of many other colors. Look closely at the pictures below you can see the red and yellow clearly and not I did not just add those. I would have been happy if no other colors come out. This has been such fun! I can myself doing this for a long while. I am beginning to see why artist love to make their own fabrics. And I really can't wait to cut them up. Now if I did not have three other projects going I need to finish but then again the UFO pile is looking like it need something new one top, LOL. I don't normally make my images so large but I want you to see the colors.

I'm Dyeing Here
I want to show off some new fabrics I made…..Yes, made. I was going to take a class in Plano on fabric dyeing and it was canceled after I had made all kinds of plans to get up there and book a hotel and… Fabric dyeing is something I have always wanted to do and have done some in my art quits with Rit Dye, but the professional us powered concentrated dyes. So I did some reading and ordered some dye from Dharma Trading Co.(http://www.dharmatrading.com/) along with tools to do some soy wax resist. As luck would have it the latest issue of Quilting Art had an article of dyeing with powdered dyes and it seemed easy enough. It was so fun and easy, I asked over a good friend and we set to trying the three ways they suggested. This weekend I want to try drying using the same processing with two colors and just black. I will post the results.
