Here's Lisa tying some organza with bright orange yarn.
The organza soaking in water.
Holding up the finished piece.
Kathleen checking on a piece hanging to dry.
A few shots of texture and pattern.
I found 8 vintage linen napkins in my stash, they are now blue and white, each with a different pattern.
Last year I had over dyed about 10 pieces of hand dyed cotton, yesterday I added 15 more pieces to it.
I've finished both of the cyanotype pieces.
This one has contour stitching around the leaves and hand stitched veins on each leaf.

What a fun playdate. I especially like the shibori that looks like feathers. And your daily stitching, of course.
ReplyDeleteYou are so productive! It must be so nice to have "playmates" to dye with. Did you use regular poly organza in the indigo, or was it silk organza?
ReplyDeleteThose indigo dyes can all go in so many wonderful directions. I am envious of your French knot productivity. I was working on a small piece that I was filling with knots and it seems to be taking forever.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are gorgeous. Love all the blues and the leaves and feathers.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! The patterns you created are wonderful! You will have a great time making things with all of your new fabric... your hand stitching projects are always interesting too.
ReplyDeleteOh it looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stitching today!
Wow some great dying results you got. Fun to see the hand stitching on it too.
ReplyDeleteWhen you play you make very beautiful items.
ReplyDeleteIs that Weiser Idaho? I have such good memories from Weiser. I had an aunt, uncle, and cousins living there years and years ago. What a beautiful place it was. Your fabric dying is fascinating.
