Your pieces turned out great-I love to repurpose like that too.<br /> Those are tall for marigolds but perhaps this is a new variety-I love marigolds-you can dye with those too for a yellow. the natural dyeing is a whole different process-results never guaranteed but for me it has always been fun, but it is time consuming-more prep involved. I like procion dyes too for cotton I used to dye for quilt fabrics. are you familiar with Dharma trading? they have great dyeing products Happy weekend hugs Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035455746155334078.post-74447683158586572032020-09-17T21:36:56.775-04:002020-09-17T21:36:56.775-04:00Ah sweet friend you are such an inspiration to me....Ah sweet friend you are such an inspiration to me. I love your indigo dyed lace. I cannot wait to see what wonderful creative project you will be doing with your blue fabric. I grew gourds many years ago and I still have a basket of them waiting for me to clean and paint them...maybe someday :)! Your marigolds are lovely. They are such a bright spot of sunshine as summer moves into Autumn. Have a great weekend.

I was getting ready to take a closer look when I read they're your fabrics on the line showing through. <br />Indigo it is! I used Rit Navy. A light dyeing leaves things a pale lavender, and on green, makes a subtle green that's really nice. The indigo in your photos shows a truer blue than the navy dye I used.<br /><br />Pumpkin! With chocolate chips! Yay!<br />Your marigolds are beautiful.

Yes, definitely it’s always a good thing to do what takes us back to our authenticity! But on the other hand, I think sometimes my authenticity changes for a period of time. S artists can be quite fickle.
