Ok - these are the last three photos of the hand-dyed fabric! UNTIL my bee meets again in December and I have more to show you!
The first is of a piece of "rust" parfait! No joke! I shoved a piece of white fabic (1/4 yd) in a clear plastic glass and squirted in some dye that I had mixed into a rust! This is what I got.... I don't think I'll do it again - or maybe it needs to be "over dyed" at our next meeting! Ding - now there's an idea! See - too much white!
Now this is a little "iffy"! It's a 6-step gradation of bue and red! You start with 6 baggies - white fabric in each bag. You add blue to #1 and red to #6 - easy enough. In #2 you add 5 parts blue and 1 part red - OK. Bag #3 you add 4 parts blue and 2 parts red - got it! Bag #4 you add 4 parts red and 2 parts red - got that too! Bag #5 you add 5 parts red and 1 part blue. Done! Well - those are generalizations - but you get the idea. It was our first "shot" at this "adventure" - and it's OK - but a little "iffy"!! lol Here goes!
Last but not least - these are the fabrics I got from the "left over" dyes! No recipe here - just add a squirt of this and that to the baggies! What fun! One thing about dyeing - don't PLAN on a really specific color - for sure you'll go crazy or be very disappointed! Just be thrilled with what you get! Yummy!
Well, friends, it's a little late for TRUFFLES - but what the heck! Most of you won't read this until morning - and it's never too early or too late for a truffle!
