In love with blue

Some more images from my indigo dyeing with Clarabella.

...  if you are also in love with blue take a look at the breath taking work of Shihoko Fukumoto.

Unpicking indigo

 

I promised I would show this little piece of stitch resist I dipped in Clarabella's indigo dye vat.

Indigo

I had the great pleasure to join my friend and natural dye expert, Clarabella for her indigo dye workshop today. It was fun to play without any specific outcomes and enjoyed the rich variety of shades and marks produced. Claire's generosity and expertise inspired us all to be creative and I went away giddy with the possibilities. I shall store some thoughts up for the future and see where and how they surface.

I will share some more images in a few days when I start to open fabrics out.
