more dye class

[aimeekitty]

it's so hot right now! like over 100 and we are outside most of the day (everyday since Thurs), I'm so exhausted! like totally death-warmed-over-exhausted. but I have some mostly finished peices now.

This is the chidori piece after the resist was removed, so it's pretty much done. I probably won't "DO" anything with it, it was just to learn.


my finished ume piece (carved by John)


This is a koi piece (carved by John) with the resist still on. It's curing now and I'll remove the paste later.


Today we laquered stencils, it was really hard! I think it will get easier with practice.
the koi I did (I also did some wisteria, butterflies and some petals)


my goldfish:


tomorrow I will probably cone resist on fabric for indigo dyeing. I will probably wait until tuesday to use my stencils so that they have more time to dry.

the stencil is made out of a special paper which a very fine silk net is applied to.
