A departure from painting canvas or paper. I took a little sabbatical from the norm, for me, and tried out a little dye on silk. Here are the results.

'Tis the spirit.
“It is not the weight of jewel or plate, Or the fondle of silk or fur; 'Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich, As the gifts of the Wise Ones were, And we are not told whose gift was gold”

Wow, they turned out stunning Beth! Bet it was a bit scary to just start the first one.
ReplyDeleteI think that's very nice. I tie dye every once in a while. Your work looks great. Happy Hoidays!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gloria and Deanna. It was a little scary and took days to make myself dye the fabric. Stamping on the resist was easy and I figured I could wash it out, but the dye...eeek. Only advice I have is wear gloves:)
ReplyDeleteBeth,
ReplyDeleteLove the rich colors of the silk--and the trefoil pattern flows well with the silk.
Very Louis XV--without the fussiness!
Tres jolie madame!
