Used up the leftover dyes by over dyeing some pieces from yesterday with some new wooden templates I bought at Michaels this morning. I also dropped some used color catcher sheets into the dye. It takes the dye real well. Tried to tone down the colors some. I prefer muted colors but it will take me a while to learn how to achieve that. I also took that last piece I posted yesterday, cut it into strips and wove it with one of the pieces that turned out quite light. I love the way this weaving turned out. Seems like saturation of the lighter silks create the most beautiful designs. I have a hard time getting the dye to penetrate through the heavier silk.

Love the coming and going of the moons in the weave.
Your weaving is beautiful...love all the "moons" coming together & peeking out.
Ahhhh... I love your weaving and those lovely moon peeping through. Mine fabrics are still in the wet! You have me itching to get them dry and play.

The weaving of Spring; this is such a lovely, delicate, exquisite piece. Sky,sun, field green, floral riffs all calming and hopeful, sorely needed these days.
well thanks so much, Marti. what a beautiful description.
It's a lovely watercolor weaving! Your weaving of new things learned turned out a-ma-zing . . .
