beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and for most these shots are not your regular beauty shots.
however with time and patience the yucky water will transform into ash lye which in turn will feed the ai vat and convert it to beautiful dyeing power. the rest as they say will make history. nor not. the lye water will be used in a natural fermentation vat whose process is different from the more commonly used reduction vat.one of the main differences is that contrary to reduction vats a fermentation vat needs oxygen to thrive. no wonder when i visited the aizome workshop dyers were so careless letting the yarns drip into the vat. a huge no-no with reduction vats.
on another note, from now on the outdoor activity will slowly increase as it gets too hot to work in the studio.this blog will be more dyeing rich in content.
here's the cold dyed madder yarn from this post. it was quietly left in the pot in the sun for 4 days. not a bad color and the dye has not fully exhausted so there's more yarn in there.
but for now the weekend with my usual blog hiatus is coming . some visual dyeing goodies here
