Dye day plus one

Not the most successful dye day as far as people…only 1 person was able to come, but I got a lot done! And I had thickened dye that I wanted to use up, so I went at it for a second day. You always want to see the results, so here they are! I’ll start with the less than attractive results.

Didn’t like them before I tried overdyeing and don’t like them now either!

This next one is a wipe-off rag from the first day that I overdyed on the second day. Didn’t like it on the first go, but I think it has possibilities now.

Tried some positive/negative.

Did some color blocking and let one screen dry with dye so a bit of deconstructed printing, too.

Sometimes the back is more interesting than the front.

Lots of stuff on a set of fat quarters that originally came out an unhappy color. Limited stencils, limited color and now they all coordinate and I can see a use for them.

And my favorite stamp that I ever made!

And these make me think of graffiti and I want to do a whole picture that feels urban/graffiti/funky!

So I feel like I got a lot done, but there is still a lot of fabric sitting on the table. Some of it is horribly ugly and some is still all white. I can certainly look forward to another dye day now. Maybe I’ll check the weather though, and wait for a nice, cool day.
