The sun was a Depth of Shade was 4% - which is nearly the max for all colors but black, and the moon fabrics were made with a combination of Turquoise/Yellow/Black/Red, put on in 2 dyebaths. I have toyed with the idea of making a tutorial. It is really quite easy to do.
Thanks for the feedback.

Johanna, I would greatly appreciate a tutorial. I was wondering about the fabic prep and dying recipe and process. I look forward to it.
