But first....the Living Stones flowers have opened.
Today's harvest from the garden. My peppers (capsicums) have done well this year.
Today I did some actual dyeing. This is silk georgette and was meant to be navy on one side, yellow on the other with a resulting green in the middle. It didn't turn out that way.
I decided to dye some fabric as the backing for my tutor's quilt - something bright and in-your-face to offset the sombre tone of the message, and the limited palette it's made in. I saw these colours on a skein of wool in town yesterday and decided to use them for the backing. I laid the colours in stripes rather than combining them all over the fabric. Not sure if I like it.
This piece was for all the leftover dye from the above projects. For some reason the bright green isn't showing up well. I like this better!

Look at that amazing abundance!
Rich colors, in the fabric and the veggies! I have never had my living stones flower, those are pretty.
What gorgeous, gorgeous colours!
I like the last one best. Often random turns out best. My husband tied dyeing once and accidentally used a cup of coffee, thinking it was dye. It turned out the best of all the ones he tried.
Beautiful! I like the last piece too.
I never saw a living stone in flower. They are gorgeous.
