Because Colour Makes Me Happy


My daughter says these hand-dyed fabrics are a bit fluro, a bit too bright! Is too bright actually a thing? I don't care, because colour makes me happy.

These samples were all done with procion dyes at a workshop with artist Linda Stokes. She said bring 2m of fabric - I think I printed about 6m! We used liquid as well as thickened dyes, brushes, rollers, stencils, stamps and texture plates. Some are more pleasing than others, but the less successful ones will probably get bleached or over printed.
