not much change in color...

after washing out the pieces posted yesterday. The black sections are slightly lighter (that is a good thing) but not much else changed after heat setting and washing. I love looking at different sections of the dyed pieces for beasts, figures, etc., so I'm sharing with you some of the sections I really love.

even the bit of onion skin took on an interesting color and shape

a bride walking to the alter--do you see her? her veil is blowing in the wind.

you would guess these are leaves but they were only folds in the cloth around the tin can

2 dolphins swimming toward each other and blowing rings of bubbles

interesting...what do you see?

I found this book at the library to inspire the drawing of some cave beasts

AND ON ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC: a new type of mesh yarn came out a while ago and I just wanted to play with it a bit. I'm using the one called Chrysalis by Yarn bee (found at Hobby Lobby), but Red Heart also has one called Sashay. I tried both the knitting and crochet instructions but liked the fullness given with the crochet so that is what I'm trying (just playing). Instructions here for both methods.

a small sample with a crochet hook size J. looks like a ribbon on the ball but opens up to a mesh.
AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE GIVEAWAY THAT IS HERE.
