I believe I have hit upon a technique that I really like and what it produces. I dyed the fabric blue orginally the one that was uploaded Sunday. Then I took the blue since I didn't like the results and redyed purple over the blue using some rubber bands in various places around the bunched up material and this is what I got. I called it purple N blue really original isn't it. But that was all my tired brain could come up with tonight.
I like the effect. I got my paycheck today and when out and bought some more dyes in colors I didn't have yet. I am thinking of using the purple again as the base color and spritzing yellow over it. But this time I am using tape to get a broader band which will remain white and allow the yellow spritz to color those areas. Sort of like Easter Colors I believe. I want to experiment with greens too. I bought a leaf green tonight and I already have Kelly green mixed up so I thought I would do something with those two colors. I love the double dyeing technique above the original dyeing.
oh! how cool!
ReplyDeleteI love that color
Really, really pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What kind of dye do you use?
ReplyDeleteYep, like these much better than the faulty spray bottle ones! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI think you've found yourself a new talent! Good job Penny!
ReplyDeleteWow..I have never tried dying my own...I love yours...can maybe feel a retail therapy coming on if my ebay stuff sells lol
ReplyDeleteI just love your had dyed colours! I was going to ask if you sell them, but then realized that you are already offering that. I'll be back...
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful, I love the one you did earlier with the Raspberries as well. Great stash you got earlier too, you'll have lots of fun projects to stitch.
