Uh-Oh....

I did some dying today...and I liked it! uh-oh. I have almost gone thru all the pink ribbon that I got from Pat Winter, and, well, you can just never have enough green. I am very happy with the variegation in the colour, but I think I am going to have to buy some more colours, at least a red and a different green. Uh-oh!

Here is the green. I use oze-craft dyes. This is the olive green and the persian gold. My dye pots are lids off 'pump' bottles.
Here it is after heat setting, and , below, after a wee iron. I would like the green to be stronger. I may try an overdye with the green again, and see what happens. I like the colour it is when wet. I painted this on to dry ribbon. I have also heard that you can get a stronger colour if you heat they dye slightly before using. So, lots of things to try next time.
And this is my Brooke this morning, on her first day of school. NO!! before you ask, I did not cry, I am NOT sad, I am ecstatic. Is that bad?? No, school will be good for her, and me, and us.
