Last night was the last class in the Midsummer Night Craft series at Shelter Half. Krissy Morrison taught a
natural dye class.
These are the vibrant colors that our dye created.
The dyes included Elderberries, Scabiosa flower, Walnut and Sour Grass.
These are the tools we used for tie dying and Shibori.

Everyone came up with such beautiful projects!
Fellow student Juan and his lovely piece.
We all thought the splattered table was pretty cool as well.
Lili, Cheri and Lauren, check out their blogs, amazingly creative and talented girls. What a fantastic evening!
I am so jealous of your workshop experience. Dying is something I have always wanted to do but never have (or failed miserably!)
ReplyDeleteThese techniques were not as hard as they look! It helped that we applied the dye with a paint brush, you should totally give it a try!

ReplyDeleteIt really was! I wish everyone could take the class!
DeleteSuch pretty creations! One of these days I'll have to try some natural dying out for myself.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it romantic dyeing with flowers and berries? Love it!
DeleteOh these are awesome, how beautiful. I've got a pack of synthetic dyes (no idea if any of the natural stuff is found here in Oz and if it is, how toxic it is to boil up indoors..) and have found the entwinements site pretty good on stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a great website! those workshops sound pretty amazing!
