Dye Sessions

  Turmeric first then I flipped it into the logwood. A ton of very tight rubber bands then simmered in logwood for 1 hour This method of drying to use the strings didn't work well. I want to do it again but with gloves so I can separate each strand of the strings then lay it over a dye. Think I may do logwood strings over black tea base dye next. It just all clumped up Another fail, the tall one wasn't suppose to fall in! Turmeric and Logwood Failed roll in logwood Tight rubber bands in logwood Roja dyed strands ran over. Really happy with how some came out, and have new ideas to improve some further.

  Tried to do an ombré sharbori thing, but I accidentally used walnut instead of the logwood. I also tried putting some nails in one of the pieces, I folded it a few times before I put the nails through. I also had the stove on low and let them sit in the pot at least an hour, would have done it longer but I started kinda late....

  For the 2nd dye session I did the walnut and logwood. I got some really good results from the logwood but was kinda disappointed with the walnut, so I threw a test pieces of the rosa into the walnut for a quick dip. The two mixed didn't come out the best, so I tried it again with the turmeric dyed piece into the logwood and think that combo has some potential.

 Dye Session 1  First night I did the rosa and turmeric. I also dyed a shirt in the turmeric after the cloth since it didn't matter if I contaminated it.
