Well, you seem well on your way to achieving what you want.....you could get quite creative with the "objects"....your post got my little brain working....I am itching to do something creative with dyes/paints/fabric. I think the best thing is...even experiments that aren't quite the result you are going for, can still be used in other projects. Any, mis-dyes would still make great scrappies or art quilts. If you get time, it would be really good if you could post pics.
