Ciao dear hearts..
there are so many things to experiment with
concerning natural dyes..
I almost didn't know where to start..
except..
that I knew I wanted to conduct some light fast experiments..
and sadly salt did nothing to keep the color
from fading in the sun.
I did not bother with the vinegar baths, since the color was so dramatically changed with
salt...
and worse with vinegar..
I used just a teaspoon of salt and it changed the blue berry dye to a pink shade...
that did not turn paper and fabrics blue...
that salted blueberry bath was however, beautiful mixed with unadulterated dye baths.
the resists are easy and will be a nice addition to stitches..
I will be using these papers and fabrics in the next video
for the
Stitch A Thon
I invite you to make some beautiful papers and fabrics
and stitch along with me in two weeks..
we all need a little
stitching meditation..
don't we?
The end result will be a sweet little book..
Be well..
C4N!
