Sheree, I used the low immersion method (to get mottling), with Procion MX dyes.
Thanks again, everyone. |
wow, you did an excellent job......
|
Amazing bright colours it looks really professional --well done.
I lve the idea of making my own fabrics but things in Spain are difficult to find and the dyes I have tried are not very exciting colours. Will try the site you mentioned though Dharma, sounds good. Elle |
Gorgeous, gorgeous. I've never tried hand dyeing. You did so good! Congrats. :mrgreen:

for a link to the website that I learned to do this from. Sorry it took so long, I haven't had time to do my own tutorial, and the site I learned from (above) was down way back when I started this thread. |
I love this. You did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely got me excited about trying it for my self!
|
You did great! When I first saw the pics, I thought they were Batiks that you bought! Your project looks as good if not better than the real thing! I was interested in doing this a long time ago after finding a site online and reading about the process deciding it was just too much mess and waste but you make it look simple; now I'm rethinking it's not that messy. Organization is key. You have inspired all of us for sure!! Thanks for the link and your help! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Those turned out great!
|
They all look great. My mom used to hand dye wool.
|
I have a "recipe" for a 36 gradiation dye method, if you are interested.
I haven't tried it yet myself, but got the instructions from someone that actually had and the fabrics were gorgeous!!! |
Your fabrics are beautiful and thanks for taking so much time to answer everyone's questions---lots of great info here for those of us who want to do this in the future.
|
Very pretty!
