Gorgeous colours-I would love to dye my own fabric.

You might want to try marbelizing fabric next. The results are extremely gorgeous. You are, however, limited to size due to the size of the pans used but it makes for great accent blocks.

Love dyeing muslin for backings. Ritz yellow, blue and purple are great.
also love setacolors with rock salt laid on the top. Had lots of fun with isopropyl alcohol
sprayed on acrylics with medium added to soften the paints.

Your hand dyeds are beautiful. Have fun deciding what to make from them. The Ricky Tims piece is really nice, can't wait to see it finished

Yes there is more fabric under the grate to get every last drop! A friend of mine brought the technique up from her Florida guild for us to try. The painting is an off shoot of a Mickey Lawler class. I didn't want the paint sitting on top of the fabric so I decided to do it like a batik all the way through the fabric to the other side. I use a sprayer and put in the pebeo setacolor paints, tsukineko ink and water to get the color I want and spray away! I also use paints and inks on the fabric before and after spraying. To make the skies I use freezer paper edged with presist to hold it down when sprayed. This is how I now do "tea dying" and over dying to get the same tone on fabrics ie. grays.Tons of fun and variations.

They all look great. I don't dye, but respect people that do. It's a lot of work and it is messy.
