Shimmering Light
Like columns of shimmering light!
I will be setting up dyepots this evening and cannot wait to dye more of this! John's vacation starts tomorrow and I have him home to help me, and to paint the house, for the next two weeks. First up is to take all of the pastel silks, I dyed with exhaust baths, and turn them into dark rich lucious colors like the ones in the photo above. Out with pastels in with yummy!

More with Madder Lac
Crushed Haboti
Silk Organza Net
Silk Velvet
All four silk fabrics came from the same madder lac dye vat, I love how each fabric took the dye differently.
Deepest Wine Silk Velvet Fabric
Natural Dyes: Madder and Lac
2.5 yards
It has some slight mottling which adds to the bruised grape appeal.

I couldn't wait!
Front of the quilt, I did some lose bound resist so you can still see the pink from the madder lac bath behind the blue. Typically if you over dye with indigo you WILL strip the base colors some if not completely.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow to over dye this piece so I dipped it six times in an indigo vat tonight, say 11:45 pm! And lets just say this is a major improvement over the previous color. Currently it's air drying over my shower curtain rod in the bathroom, silk side down on the rusty part of the rod!!!
