| Polly, me, Donna, Paula, Rose, Brenda, Justine, Nancy and Ginny! |
 |
| The ice dyeing technique was high on the list for the group so we got started right away on this method! |
 |
| Ginny and Nancy are deciding which colors to use! |
 |
| Nancy and Brenda are going for it! |
 |
| No two fabrics will be exactly the same! |
 |
| Ginny is combining fucschia and yellow! |
 |
| Polly and Ginny compare notes! |
 |
| Each person dyed 3 half yard Ice Dyed pieces. They are all lined up and ready for the sun and ice to make some magic! I can't wait to see how they turned out. |
 |
| Next we worked on the Confetti Dyeing technique! |
 |
| We pulled out the color wheel to get some inspiration on contrasting colors! |
 |
| My sister Donna volunteered to be my lovely assistant (red apron). Her energy and spirit contributed to a great day! |
 |
| Paula and Nancy are creating some fun texture in their design by working on the uneven grassy surface! |
 |
| Brenda is sharing her design thoughts with Justine! This is a warm and collaborative group. |
 |
| Donna is trying her hand at pleating fabric and spraying the folds to get a nice linear result! |
 |
| Polly is spraying her fabric to encourage the dye to meander down the fabric surface! |
 |
| Justine combined some really bold colors! |
 |
| Aren't they beautiful! Each person took home 4 half yards of yummy Confetti Dyed fabric! |
 |
| The last technique we worked on was using thickened dyes! I'm demonstrating screen printing foliage onto the fabric surface. |
 |
| Rose and I working out some design details! |
 |
| Justine is going for it! |
 |
| Look at Paula's beautiful oak leaves! |
 |
| Nancy is happy with her pieces! |
 |
| Donna is taking home some gorgeous fabric! |
 |
| This is Rose's workshop "haul"... sooo many new fabrics to play with! |
 |
| A few of Polly's pieces! |
 |
| Paula went right home and washed, dried and pressed her new fabrics! |
 |
| More of Paula's workshop goodies = wow! |
Thank you ladies for sharing your enthusiasm and spirit with me! It is always a treat to have folks in the studio creating and experimenting!
