Another possible water reflection piece

 Another possible new quilt - lots of energy in this one. Today I painted a lot of fabric to start accumulating "ingredients' for working on this.  It will be about 7 feet wide so I need lots of fabric to work with.

Playing with Kaleidoscope images




I spent my snow day yesterday playing on Spoonflower with some of the kaleidoscope images that I had taken a week or so ago. I can't find a way to show the yardage but these at least show some of hte changes I made in Photoshop to get different effects. I am not getting anything printed but they are saved on Spoonflower for future use. The last one when I do a mirror image of it looks really great almost like cuneiform writing on a clay tablet. hat it started out as was the handles on my kitchen cabinets.

Snow dye samples from yesterday

Samples of the snow dyed fabrics. Black, black cherry, vanilla bean and chino dye in these 4 pieces. It was interesting to see how long it took for the snow to melt and for the  dye to tricke down into the fabric. I overdyed some of them again today but the second time around was not as good as the first. Probably because I did not wait as long to see what would happen and also the fabric already had a lot of dye in it. Fun to do once but I don't think I would do it again.
