And this week it's dyeing


Have been having such a good time playing with Myfanwy Hart's dyeing technique. It actually works. Have a look ...



Camera doesn't do justice to the colours. I've overdyed some samples to get the colour I wanted - in effect using the old watercolour painting technique of putting a coloured "wash" over the whole thing to lift it.


Dyeing is the sort of thing I like to do when I can't settle to anything else. Delia Smith roasts a chicken - I get out the rubber gloves!

Might try stamps or some kind of printing blocks. May make book wraps or Kindle cosies.

I think I've mentioned this before, (my brain's a bit feeble these days) can you reverse these screens?
The leaf's beautiful. It would be good with some stuff added to it...beads, buttons, embroidery??? You're clever enough to do that!
