warming up towards the maiwa course painting and painting with natural dyes
all silk yarns here natural dyed and post treated w. assorted modifiers.
this year the heat has been so intense up north that not only has affected living organisms, but also inorganic inert substances such as dyes. true,bacon is not what it used to be as we say in our household and this applies to every single thing. my first procion mx dyes bought from dharma almost 40 years ago held up a good 30 years until they started shifting color and losing dye power.some colors didn't even age.
madder and tannins
the batch i got 6-7 years ago have gone bad in 3 miserable years. i am talking quality here. quality and kindness seem terms on their way out with all the implications.
let's see if the shift to natural dyes cuts that issue.
i now have a disposal problem of almost one kilo of dye powders. ⋋__⋌
