cut offs,,

of a previously yellow shirt,
And
(yes, there's more from just
those little bundles)
;))))
An old, faded and ripped
napkin with a light print...
And last of all

Formerly white cheesecloth draped over the
edge leaving a deep dark brown...
I love how these came out...just so yummy
with all the variations and looking very OLDE!
[Not everyone's "cup of tea" tho' hahaha
I realize, but I will use these for slow
stitching projects...]
And since I won't be washing the projects
I use them for,
it doesn't matter if the colors fade a bit...

I really like your tea dying. I want to tea dye a few things and also make dye from a few garden plants. But I will wash my things so will probably order a mordant. I want to do some rust dyeing too. I want to...I want to...I want to...
ReplyDelete"Enough said" indeed! I remember the quote of Ruth Bader Ginsberg "and when I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough women on the Supreme Court? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there'd be nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that." RBG would be devastated as to the Supreme Court at this present time. The American Supreme Court today does resemble one of a hundred and fifty years ago.....so sad. Now to the tea dyeing. It all looks fabulous.....though I prefer my tea in a pretty, fine bone china, teacup. =) Seriously though, I can just imagine what you will do with these pieces. Love the cute little hut you have drawn.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of variety there in the tea dyeing. That will keep you busy deciding which piece to use for what.
ReplyDeleteNice tea dyed pieces to use creatively. I like my tea cold and sweet lol
ReplyDeleteYour teadye fabrics are so beautiful! Such a success. I must get my bundles started soon.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually make political comments, but! After Trump was finally voted out, I thought I'd never have to be ashamed of my country again---but I am. The SC decision is, to me, shocking, antiquated, anti-women. Who knew that the SC could unilaterally change our world like this, far too much power in ill advised hands. Again.
I love the look that tea-dying gives. These pieces will make nice projects.
ReplyDeleteThe tea dyeing is so interesting and you have a lot of potential with all those pieces. Sobering comic for sure. It's just devastating, what is happening in the country, between seemingly unending gun violence, and the SC rolling back rights for women.
ReplyDeleteStunning results from the tea dyeing! So interesting to see the variety of fabrics you've dyed with this technique, love the cheesecloth, this is going to be a wonderful project.
