Out Of the Vat

T-shirt yarn from the Indigo vat.

Into the Wild Blue

Playing with indigo again.

I was surprised that the dye in my ice bucket "vat" was still good. The yarn was aqua to begin with and I dipped some of it the indigo. I am anxious to roll it into balls but it is not completely dry yet. I also dropped a ball of white pearl cotton into the vat. It is definitely not dry yet.

The fabrics are both cottons.

On the blue and white one, I used a "school" glue resist. The other was folded, dyed, dried, folded and dyed again and then stamped.

 Now what?

Surface design

Here is part of a previously dyed piece of cotton, overdyed with indigo and then stamped with fabric paints and sprayed with silk screen inks. Have I done enough? I don't know. What will I do with it? I don't know........................

Indigo Blues

Playing with indigo on remnants of an old cotton sheet and some silk . Obviously, the sheet has tiny polka dots! Some of the cotton has been discharged.
