Colour Therapy

I realized during the week that I didn’t have many ‘greens’ left in my Eco Dyed Threads. In fact I had none at all in rayon. I grabbed my blues and yellows and started mixing.DSCF7409While they were doing their thing I grabbed some Sun Dyes  and a silk off cut. DSCF7406 I purchased these for a children’s class I started around 3 years ago. They go a loooong way.DSCF7407 There was no real plan here. I just painted colour on, the secondary colours were mixed directly on the fabric. When I started I also didn’t have a plan for what I was going to use for a resist.DSCF7408 This is the security screen we slide into place when the back barn door is open. It was the perfect size.DSCF7411 End result. Now, what to do with it?
