Yesterday I dye painted silk ribbons to use in making some new wayward threads scarves. I also had lengths of torn muslin fabric strips that I purchased with stamped images that I added dye to with a paint brush to make them look aged. I like the look of tea dyed fabrics but tea doesn't always last through wearing and washing. I used dye to insure the color will last and randomly painted the dye so the fabrics look vintage. I was able to lay four scarves out, ready to be sewn.
This morning I woke to a blustery and rainy day that never let up. Cool, damp, and dreary, the perfect weather to be inside creating. I sewed the scarves today and painted some more ribbons.
I'm showing a few photographs here and in the next day or two plan to photo more ribbons and begin listing them in my Etsy shop. I'll be back to post when I do that.
such pretty scarves! it has been rainy rainy here too!
ReplyDeleteI always love looking at your beautiful scarves.
ReplyDeletewow ... those are cool!
ReplyDeleteI managed to lose my beautiful scarf somewhere last week! I've worn it every day for the last 2 months....I am heartbroken.... are these ones for sale, Lorrie? (and are you teaching again at artunraveled -- I've decided to only take fabric classes next year :)
ReplyDeleteI found them in your shop -- which, by the way, you don't seem to have a link to on your blog (your ribbon shop does, but not your scarf shop)
ReplyDeletep.s sorry I spelled your name wrong on the last post....
