The inspiration for the next sample is this gorgeous piece of printed silk chiffon and since I love and appreciate trees so much, I decided that the theme for this garment will be named after this 'tree of life.' I felted a small sample and dyed some silks but since this is only the beginning, who knows where it will take me. I always love to work with fabric where I can use the front or the back after felting and cutting it up. My preference is to always begin with a monochromatic palette and then add punches of color so, in that vein, I overdyed several pieces of silk that I had in my stash in greens and turquoise.
This little guy decided to be my helper while I was dyeing outside! He kept an eye on me to make sure I wasn't shirking although he made me take longer because I loved watching him!
Oh, the greens and turquoise blues! signifying the people of the world coming together
