Cloth Works updates

Greetings All,
I have had the dye pot on for 2 days with Rit powder dye in Aubergine 33 and here are my results and some of which I am happy with and others not so sure.

Aubergine over Lemon and this I am loving.

Another  vintage linen over dyed with Aubergine (right),

 Two  yards of Kona cotton that was shibori folded and overdyed and I am loving this the most.

My final piece for now is 2 yards of Kona cotton dyed in scarlet and then overdyed in Aubergine and I am not happy.  So I go back to the dye pot on this one.

Wearables and more wearables!

Greetings All,
I have been on a tunic roll again and here are some of my latest.  Right is a stretch lightweight denim hankcrife tunic.  I love the abstract animal print with the overdye.  My next creation was made from some of my "Parking Lot Shibori" cotton fabric that I made and it's done in a batwing caftan style.

More Wearables

Greetings All,
Here are some more of my latest wearables.  I love this sunny yellow Adinkra symbol tunic.  It's short and sweet I think.

I also created several garments out of my "Parking Lot Shibor" fabrics one being my old standby favorites "Handkerchief-hem" tunic and my new "Waterfall" vest.  All of these are made of cotton and I am loving them.

Wearable Update

Greetings All,
Here are some more of my latest creations made with "Kanga" cloth.  Kangas have for as long as is known been a traditional type of dress amongst women in the African Great Lakes region. Toward the eastern part of the region, phrases in Kiswahili are traditional, while in central areas phrases in both Kiswahili and Lingala are popular. Kangas are also often referred to as lesos.   Kanga - I, II, and III are below.

New Wearables

Greetings All,
I have been working on some wearables lately and thought that I would share my creations.  Below left and centered you can see a shibori dyed tunic that I created which I love the asymmetry of the pattern and I hope that you do too.  This was created with white cotton and Rit dye in a liquid navy.




My next tunic was created with Rit dye lemon yellow and over painted with Pebeo Setacolor fabric paint in Cherry (50) and Ultramarine Blue (12).  Finally is a poncho that I crocheted with Red Heart Yarn in Earth/Sky and a McCalls crochet pattern from year ago.
