These colors were inspired by monk's robes from Southeast Asia. Ginger Luters recently gave our local guild a slide lecture on her trip to Thailand, Laos and Burma (Myanmar), and showed us wonderful textiles she collected there.
I also dyed some blues and other reds:
Seasonal Peeps for scale, of course.
Don't forget to warn people before you frizzle their eyeballs with glowing monks' robes colors. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat June said. Anytime you want to give us some tips on dyeing silk top all the way through with no damnable white/pastel spots, well go right on ahead.
ReplyDeleteCalvin's response when he saw those bright orange and red silk was "Oh MY!". He likes it and so do I. :)
ReplyDeleteyou always have such beautiful, vibrant colors! and, are you "curing" the peeps, like a lot of people do? or just, using them, and tossing them out? or are you going to eat them. i always think purple and blue peeps are suffocating under the cellophane. sigh
