Here’s my first batch of tank tops. I decided to also try for the first time my variant of a psychedelic shibori on something other than bandanas. I am also going to start adding at least 1 neautral or earthy type tone for each batch to try to create more of a balance of colors. My last two days working my earthy tones flew off the racks for me. Now on to the workmen’s tanks tops!
So I noticed I’m horrible about having a mix of colors, where I have pretty much all bright vibrant crazy colors. Needed to try to add some more neutral tones. Decided to play with inclined double fanfolds.
Not soaked in SA prior. 2-3 light pariah baths once tied and inclined.
Combo of both DUI/DOI (dye on string then dye over ice)
3 heavy Pariah baths at end to push final dye.
Have you ever worked on a project where you pretty much hated all of your results? Well here’s mine. A reverse batch pink (got overcooked) & sapphire blue (doesn’t discharge) & a failed attempt at a psychedelic style mandala like my framed piece. So glad to be done with these and to refocus my energy properly to create something I can be happier with. Looks like we have some new discounted shirts. 😂
I have also added my geodes hoody order that I wrapped up. Got my energies realigned!
So here’s some of my most recent framed pieces. These are all cotton dyed with procion mx dyes and framed. Second piece Is a collaboration where my work is the background piece of the frame.
Well this was exciting! Even though I’m still in the beginning of my journey, I’ve been trying to put myself out there as much as possible! I got accepted and voting starts on may 4th!
