The North Texas SAQA Circle met Saturday at Jules' house for a wonderfully messy dyeing day.
Jules' garage is the perfect place for dyeing. Her garage has two large, deep sinks and ample space for all of us to work. And a cushy floor. There were twelve eager dyers.
It was a hot, sunny day, perfect for batching our fabrics. We did a little bit of everything -- ice dyeing, shibori, baggie dyeing:
I dyed nine yards. Six of them more or less solid, and three that were random pours of color over the fabric. These are mine "cooking" in Jules' front yard:
My poured dyes. The first was folded and squirted with blue and brown:
Chinese Red and Golden Yellow, scrunched in a plastic shoebox:
This was my final piece of the day. I poured whatever dye I could find over it. A little green, a little gray, a lot of blue:
My solids turned out pretty well, considering the fact that I placed the fabric in gallon zipper bags, poured the dye in and scrunched it a bit. This was dyed with Aquamarine:
Wasabi:
Chartreuse. It split a bit into green, blue and yellow:
This was Red Violet:
Chinese Red. I had dripped some brown dye on the fabric. Happy Accident? Maybe:
Shitake:
It was a lovely day, and I LOVE my results!
