The fruits of our labor! this is my small attempt at indigo dyeing - our Dye study group met and we dyed everything we could get our hands on - one member dyed a skirt and top, another dyed an old jacket to give it new life and I took a variety of items to experiment with - wool and mohair yarn, silk caps, a portion of a silk oblong, a Chico's embroidered blouse, a very large prefelt, some cotton, a variety of silk, a nuno wrap, and some lace bits - whew! - a wide variety of blues some clamped before being dipped and rinsed in a vinegar bath. 
I almost forgot to mention this piece - read about this technique on the internet and so I did the design with glue (regular old white glue) and it became the resist and left quite an interesting design.
I do so love the alchemy of indigo dying. From green to that gorgeous blue. Hope you had gloves on!

Hi Yvette, nice to see you again too! Life has gotten soooo busy - how about you?
ReplyDeleteHi Margo, I just came by via Pat Winter's article about you and your fabulous work. I am so glad I did. I am a new follower and can't wait until I have more time to really look/read through your posts. I'm a new CQr and just bought a needle tool to try felting. Connie
