| I've been absent lately, but am enjoying catching up. Lovely stuff ya'll are doing!
These are silk scarves that I dyed just before Christmas. It wasn't the exact procedure that i had envisioned, but 2 broken ankles and a wheelchair kept me from sun-printing them.
These are done with a combination of fiber-reactive dyes and fabric paints. Click the image for an enlarged view.

| Hi Melody,
So sorry to hear about your broken ankles, hope you are recovering well.
I love your beautiful silk scaves, fibre reactive dyes? is that like batik without the wax? Sorry, I don't know much about dying fabrics. The shimmer is stunning, thankyou for bringing those in. |

| Mel, those turned out very nicely. Did you get your mom hooked on dyeing in the process?
I got started dyeing kit and the book, "Color by Accident" from Dharma on Friday. Haven't had any time, been quilting up some ufqs that have been sitting around. We'll see. If you were closer, I wouldn't have had to buy the book! ; ) |

| Hi sandy,
what a great design, very unique! I would love to put some flowers in it, but it looks beautiful just the way it is.
Thanks for calling in, yes this cafe is quieter these days, it seems I upset people without meaning to.
Have you seen the new basket weaving forum? It looks like fun, I might have a go at making a basket sometime!!
Has Paul been doing any paintings recently? |

| Fiber reactive is the type of dye that bonds to natural fibers. It becomes part of the cloth. Other dyes sit on top of the fiber like paint.
Glad you are taking the plunge Kathleen. I've found that it's not an exact science, and never measure anything, so don't over analyze it. (as if I had any worries)
I'm lurking over in the basket forum too...great minds think alike. |

I mostly make messes on paper mostly they do not resemble "art" very much. I have been taking W/C lessons some days are better than others!
This is one of the class excercises. She is a good teacher, not sure if I'm a good student! But we are having a great time! Click the image for an enlarged view.

| My goal is to learn to paint loose. After painting in Acrylic for years, is hard to dislodge the "control factor" & just let it be out of control.
This sunflower is actually W/C, looks more like Acrylics. Click the image for an enlarged view.

Thanks. I think your doing very well with the water colors. I remember taking a refresher watercolor class and just exasperating the instructor when my work didn't fit in the narrow 'show some white paper ' type of watercolor. |
