A labour of love...it's lovely to see all the stitching you do to achieve your wonderful indigo pieces. I look forwrd to seeing the results of all the stitching after the dyeing. Can I ask you what sort of indigo dye you use? I am keen to try indigo dyeing.
Can't wait to see what it looks like. I'd like to try this myself. I have a piece of fabric I dyed a pale yellow today. Once I see how yours comes out, I may try stitching it and then overdye it. So many ideas, so little time!
I like how you say "laying a spool of thread into" it sounds so gentle and looks so exciting...I really hope to learn more about dyeing in the next, however long.
ohhhhh yummmmy !!!! can't wait to see it come out of the indigo soup : ) the article in the Quilting Arts magazine last month reeeeallly got my attention, can't wait to try this technique : ) and I did see an add for the pre-reduced indigo dye so I'll probably try that tooo : ) happpy "charmeuse" sunday to you Judy : ) Blessings, Sandra in AZ
I'm laying a spool of polyester thread into a 19 x 45 inch piece of silk charmeuse in preparation for indigo.
Good grief, what a lot of work! That is just amazing to me.... I'm already looking forward to seeing the indigo :>]]

ReplyDeleteI use pre-reduced indigo dye. I keep a vat going in my studio even in the winter. I am still new at using this kind of dye and love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful even before the dyeing .....Lorna
