Stack dyeing - amazing clear colors

This third technique used 4 pieces of fabric. The bottom layer was bathed in golden yellow, soda ash was added, then a new cloth and a new dye color, my second color was turquoise. Next was fushia and then golden yellow. The hardest thing about this technique is all the waiting. Each new cloth is added and a new color poured in. This technique results in great colors of cloth in a total surprise.

Color evaluation - low temp dyeing

The second session of the dying workshop was on color gradation. This time I used turquoise blue. The first cotton fabric was put into the dye and left to sit 15 minutes. Next a 1/4 cup of soda ash water is added and a new piece of cotton cloth. After another 15 minutes another 1/4 cup of soda ash is added and a third piece of cloth is added.

Low water dye work shop - day 1

I never expected to get to attend a fabric dye workshop while at the Cornerstone Music Festival.
Day 1 was using a single color and 3 different fabrics in a low-water immersion dye. We used Procion MX. I chose indigo for my color.

Since I folded my cloth in different ways, it is a bit hard to see the fabric differences. The edges of the white stripe fabric took up extra dye. The flannel is the lightest.
