I thought I would never finish the stitching on this one. I dyed it with a mixed dye so that the colours would halo out, it does not show well in the photo but the colours range from darkest lavender blue, through to pastel blue, purple through to the pinkish mauve you can see in this photo. The colouring is incredible. I thought I would take it to the art gallery that has some of my stuff, but have a feeling I may keep it just for me.

Sorta shibori, done with setacolour paints rather than dye. Tiger feet for some little toddler.

Silk scarf, resist dyed


Silk scarf, resist dyed

Here is another silk scarf, rust dyed, overdyed, resisted. Strangely the rust dyeing washed out when I rinsed the scarf under the tap. Since I wasn't about to waste all the time I spent stitch resisting this scarf I overdyed in a rust colour to complement the little rust dye that stayed in the scarf.
