The joys of dyeing.

These are my successes of dyeing this lady month.

Wool: northern lights

Cotton:lily pad

Then I made my own cute tags.

image

These are really looking more professional then the basic white tags, I’d been purchasing.

Another cable item, head warmer, made with hand dyed yarn.

May your day be filled with color. 

Finished Object Fridays.

Standard

Here’s a new post set to keep me posting at least once a week.  I will re cap all the cool items I made during the week.   (yes I know it’s Thursday.  I won’t have any time tomorrow to post.)

image

We’ll start with this lovely ruffle scarf.  Sequins and metallic thread make this one sparkle.  Finished it today.

image

Another cable hat.

image

A basket weave hat.  This one is getting dyed blue or purple.   I don’t care for the white.

image

Infiniti scarf.   I don’t have much to say about this one, I think I’ll wear it but it’s still to hot to get excited about it.

image

This queens Anne lace scarf needs blocked badly.   But the colors are so me.

image

The first shirt I discharged.   I still haven’t worn it,  I think tomorrow is the day.  I must make more of these.

image

I’ve worn this one and gotten some interested looks but no comments.  

image

My niece snapped this up as soon as she saw it.  She’s the only one I know that can’t stand having something that everyone else has. 

image

Another one for my niece she was not as excited bu this one but wanted it as well. 

image

image

Discharge pen shirts.   These I’m not as excited about as the blue shirt.  I do think these are pretty awesome.   My boyfriend said that this is the way to get a name out there vs dyeing.  Do something different.   These are hand done so non of them will be the same.
Have a colorful and bright day.

The first batch of shirts

Standard

These are in a reverse dye style.   Seeings as this was a test run I did shirts for myself and my niece from my closet and a yard sale.  These are 100 percent cotton tees, one of the tank tops is not.

image

I am wearing this one now.  I love it!

image

Of course this one’s for my niece.

image

Another for my niece.  

image

And the coolest one.  I really think this one is the best.

A close up of the shirt.   Thank you all for stopping by and please let me know what you think.
