Snow dyeing - interesting surprise

 Okay, so I only had two racks - improvise when you are too impatient!
 here is the result.  This was on a scrap of PFD fabric.

Snow dyeing - more results

Here are some pictures of my synthetic silk piece.  The finished piece looked pretty good until I rinsed it,  It did not retain much of the dye.




Snow dyeing - my favorite piece

 Okay so I never shared the rest of my snow dye results. Here are step by step pictures of my next piece. Same process as in my 1st post Snow dyeing.

Zentangle Journey Day 13 - bird of paradise

Something simple but intricate, today.

Zentangle Journey Day 12 - Hearts

I missed posting yesterday, but I did do a simple zentangle just before going to sleep last night.  Had a great day at my pen and ink class.  The oil paint is wet so it is put way up out of reach of little hands.  My grandson spent 2 days with us last week and might be coming for a whole week.  Need to childproof.

Zentangle Journey Day 11 -

I decided today's drawing should be a little more fluid. was thinking about spring due to the cold, and drew this unplanned plant.

Zentangle journey Day 10 - repetition

I was not quite happy with this zentangle.  i put it into paint shop and did some patterns, and kaleidoscopes.

Zentangle - Grandma's Flower Garden

Day 9 of my zentangle journey.  I used the hexagon shape from "Grandma's Flower Garden" for this tangle.  I didn't have quite enough room on my 6x9 bound journal page. Each hexagon is approximately 5/8"
