The summer’s been sizzling out in my summer studio but the fan keeps me from overheating. Some of the colors are
pretty hot, though! Here’s some of what’s been happening out there!
This is mostly cotton, some raw silk, with PRO MX FIBER REACTIVE DYE (aka: Procion Dye) and all low water immersion method.
Some is a loose shibori but most are just bunched up and mottled.
I’ve been following along with Ann Johnson’s Color By Accident DVD which I purchased from ProChem
and I’m finding it to be a very useful addition to my library. I also have the book, which I keep with me to refer to as I work.
What I really like about her is that she’s really smart about what she does but not at all dogmatic.

Beautiful colors Janis. Which is the raw silk? The piece I shared in the crit group was some of the raw silk from my supplier. I loved how it took dye. Great job!

The deep yellow/gold color , top left is the same raw silk as yours. I first did a DSP on it which came out fabulous!

Lovely colors, Janis. I especially love the mottling. That’s what I like best about hand-dyed fabrics. Oh and Ann Johnston’s DVD is fun. I own a copy.
