Dyeing to Design Class...


I saved some of the black gradations I dyed last week for the class.

I decided to try something abstract this time:



It was therapy sewing just to cut the fabric into strips and

piece it back together again...






I cut the strip set into skinny strips...




I pulled out a design board:


I used the two darkest gradations for the background...





I see trees...





I like the way it looks at an angle.




 Here are the 2 studies I did with the black gradations:


I tend to work with vibrant colors in most of my textiles.

I learned a lot from removing colors from the equation and 

working with only shades of black.


Next is Lesson 2.....Dyeing the Color Wheel

  2. They both look great. I can certainly see 'trees'and they look great. Swaying in the wind like our real ones are doing today!
