dye

I love this photoshoot of a "woman"(?) posed in pastels in kind of a "girlish" style over at foto-decadent .... I really want this pink coat. I love the color combos and pose/theme ideas in this shoot, but I wish the model would have a cupcake (you guys are right!)

Oleanders always remind me of home. They get even bigger here in CA though!


Here's some messy free-hand waves done with a pastry tube and resist. I just wanted to mess around with it. I dipped it in indigo today, and later this week I will layer a fish stencil on it. I got the indigo a little too dark today though, so hopefully that will workout. I also painted on dye (using a brush) to my plum scarf today. I got the color a little darker than I wanted and made some mistakes, but it was a good learning experience. Now hopefully by the time I get to my bedspread and obi I will have more control over the dye.

My hand and arm after dyeing today. To save time and control the amount of paint, I was using my arm partially as a palette. (John showed me a less messy method later. lol.) Makes good zombie makeup though! fyi... the dyes are natural and non-toxic

Sounds like you are having fun. Hopefully when I retire or are less busy with the kids I can enroll in a fun class like that.
