Friday was Session 4 of my Dye Happy class at Wabi Sabi. It is always gratifying to see the results of the previous class. While we do various dyeing processes in class, students usually have to let them batch and wash out at home.
Several students decided to dye some silk-rayon velvet scarves using the Bomaki Shibori method.
Marion's colours are so lovely.
Sue and her rainbow scarves.
Heather and her rainbow scarves.
Barb tried the rainbow method on cotton.
Nancy's folded fabric.
Nancy's stitch resist experiment.
Marion's soft-toned two colour run.
This is Heather's beautiful stash so far.
Just out of the immersion dye bath, Sue and her pole-wrapped Arashi Shibori.
Friday's topic was Soy Wax Batik. You can see the wax melting in an electric frying pan here, and the many batiking tools we tried. The wax forms a resist that does not allow the dye to penetrate.
Sylvia sent a photo of her soy wax resist fabrics after washing out.
