Dyeing Fabric

This was rather interesting. I had dyed this piece of fabric with golden yellow and then with tangerine. I hadn't used the dye sticks that I had purchased a while back so I used the plastic board you see for a rubbing board under the fabric and I thought it made a interesting design.

Discharge and Dyed Fabric

This is a piece of silk noil that I had dyed with olive drab procion dye. I did it twice because I didn't like the color and still didn't. So I took a brush with discharge paste and now I like it and one of these days it will get made up in something.

Tye Dye T Shirts

Did some more tye dye on shirts. This one was with Better Black and it was wonderful how the dye separated with some mauve color.

This one I used Robin Blue, Colbat Blue and Imperial Purple.

T-Shirt

Some more silk screening. I am having so much fun with the silk screens. I replaced the sleeves with lace that stretched one way.

Discharge and Dyed Fabrics

This is a jacket I made from my dyed fabrics that I did with procion dye. The main part is red wine dye. The collar and sleeves are Better Black. The sleeves are done in free motion to give them a quilted look. They were just muslin to begin with. The collar you can't see the detail, but it is stamped with Fabrico stamp pad ink with a rubber stamp, a toilet roll and a half of a coconut.

This black t-shirt was silk screened with discharge paste.

Continuation of Creative Endeavor

When I was in a train station they had many magazine so I wanted to see what was going on in europe in the creative world. This magazine is from England and had many interesting art works. The cover has a necklace that was done with a mold and looks very unique. The page that is open is picture done in fabric.

While I was on my trip I bought yarn to make socks. They had some beautiful yarns. They are from Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Germany and Norway. The sock that I have gotten one made for my husband Jim is cashmere from Italy and feels so soft on his foot. He is anxiously waiting for the other one.
