Here are pics of my results from yesterday, and also side-by-side shots from my first round of dyeing. The results are surprising! I'm excited to do more experiments! Since the baking soda gave more of a green, I'm going to try adding much less- starting with a teaspoon rather than a tablespoon next time. ;-D That might be the ticket to a cool blue. On the comparison pics, the first round of dyed silks are on the bottom, and the second round of dyed fabrics (1 silk, and 3 wool) are on top. The yellow tint of the wool warmed up the color quite a lot. And the shibori resist-dyed piece was quite a surprise! It looks orange instead of pink, and the stripes are blue instead of white (!) What a beautiful surprise~! Such a different result on the wool compared to the silk, using the exact same dye recipe.

If you haven't done so already put it in your diary - Even if you are just happy watching it will be worth the movie ticket (which is free :) ADD to your Calendar

I have been talking vegetables in this group (cabbage) and in another group today (broccoli) so I thought I would ask you: 1. What is your favourite vegetable? 2. What memory does it evoke for you? No least favourite vegetables - just favourite!

I just got off a call with Melissa and the colours are divine. ADD TO CALENDAR By next weekend we will have all the prep videos in the Classroom so you can be ready for the live on the 21st/22nd APRIL (depending on where you are) SHOPPING LIST She will be using plain silk scarf and wool she purchased at Dharma (check the Shopping List). You can use the left over silk you had from the Silk Painting Workshop (don't you love that!) This is going to be good.
