Today I decided to embrace the warm weather and do some dyeing. I need some meterage for a proposed project and decided to use a dye bath technique to ensure more even colour rather than my usual low-immersion scrunching. Unfortunately, I over-stirred and agitated and the results are dull and lifeless. Thank goodness, there is such a thiing as over-dyeing. In the meantime, I had a little blue dye left over so did some simple fabric folding shibori to warm up to the next Twelve by Twelve colourplay challenge. Blue and white (the dash of black is yet to come) is such a fresh palette.
Tie and Dye is a very artistic and nice fabric coloring where with simple techniques the fabric is colored beautifully.These can be used for patched,clothes,and many other creations.

Welcome home to the warmth, although some cold is nice also for a change. I got the envelope from Lark, but no joy. Congratulations.
