never before such a successful dye extraction! rich and deep color with a big yield of dyeing pigment.
there was still a lot of dye that could not be thrown away so i started looking for things to dye to use the remaining color. the above is a piece of cotton from a recouped dress. it has some leaves which were previously wrapped and dyed and a resulting ghost shibori. the outcome was mildly interesting, but needed color in a bad way to balance the dirty dish water browns. it doesn't look bad now. there will be some stitching also and i want to do something to highlight the snap on the top left .
there are still more pieces in the pot . some felts from friend fabienne, yes the same one who yet has to set up her blog :)
if you're at facebook check some photos of her awesome work. she has influenced me with her dyeing.neki desu
