More Dyeing

March 27, 2006  |  Process

Oh my, this is addictive! I’ve been ripping up fabric from my collection and dyeing it in different colors, and even gone a little crazy and ordered more black and whites to dye.

Here’s what I started with, and then used different pots of yellows, oranges, and reds to dip into to create different color blends. I’m trying to do it by eyeball, since I’m not a write-it-down-and-stick-to-it person.

One thing I hadn’t anticipated is the result to printed fabrics that usually look whitish and ugly on the back. Over-dyeing this fabric has created a really nice look on the back.

  1. Now – wait until you start discharging these overdyed commercial fabrics with dishwasher gel. You are in for some more great surprises.

    I don’t know how I have overlooked your blog until today.
