Personal Project Completed Work

 









It was really important that the pockets were actual pockets, and I also hand washed each garment so they are ready to wear. 


This was a solid dye with logwood and the pocket was a shabori pattern with logwood.



This was a triangle style logwood dye. I let it simmer on low heat in the dye bath for 2 hours, really happy with how this one came out. 






This was a solid madder dye with a rojo splatter pocket.






This was a rojo ice dye, I like how it came out but think I needed to use a lot more ice. The dye was still very concentrated at the top after 3 layers of ice had melted over it.

 My inspirations for these dyes were Skin-walker Ranch and snake skin.

I also wanted to have un-dyed pieces of the fabrics, so the white helps the other colors pop more and help add depth. My main goal was to find an interesting mix of colors with a pattern that will help draw attention to my diversity banner. https://www.history.com/news/skinwalker-ranch-paranormal-ufos-mutilation https://www.everythingreptiles.com/ball-python-morphs/ 1.

  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.
