I was left with quite a lot of unused dye, which I used for overdyeing
black-on-white fabric...
and white-on-white fabric.
And here's a trick I learned from Melanie Testa (Inspired to Quilt):
- dyeing embroidery floss with the help of floss holders!
Doesn't that make you want to grab a needle?
And here's a week's worth of dyeing adventures:
These are among my favourite fabrics:
I'm having a short break from dyeing now, but I will soon continue with the warm gradation (golden yellow, scarlet and medium blue). Then I will soon need to come up with a way of using all my fabrics, because there isn't any more room in my tiny flat...
Thanks for dropping by and have a great week! - Annika
Glorious colors! I love the overdyed fabrics and your solids are beautiful. I am using some of my dyed threads from Melly's class in my jacket. I just love to use hand dyed threads. Thanks for sharing you dyecation! Now you might think about indigo! (insert evil laugh! It is even more fun and magical.) Wishing you a fun filled week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm pretty pleased with what I've accomplished so far. Next, I'll start thinking about surface design (overdyeing, printing, stencilling, discharging, foiling, oh, the possibilities...). Ha, ha, I will, however, do my best to stay away from indigo for the time being, as I have too much to try as it is. But I expect it will sneak into my schedule sooner or later, as these things usually do. ;-)
DeleteDet här börjar påminna om regnbågen. Härligt!
ReplyDeleteTack! Det var en riktig färgfest och jag ser fram emot att fortsätta den om ett par veckor. ;-)
