hatching out splendor!


Although I do not know the meaning of restraint when it comes time to dye, this new take on using granular materials to  carry the dye has returned some amazing results. Those dark flecks in the foreground are oatmeal flakes and some dead bugs that had taken up residence in the large container of oatmeal.

I couldn't wait to finish hosing it off to take this picture.  The best part is ..I know exactly how I did this and could duplicate the effect. 


and the blues, greens and purples are waiting.

Bugs did a great job - the result looks amazing, like a field of lavender :)

WOAH! I love that upper cloth! Reminds me of images of the Lavender fields in Grass, France. Nice job, Deb!
