I’m Dyeing, Already!

Next layer is dyeing. I used the dyes in a thin solution and, because I’m doing a direct application, I used urea in the chemical water along with my fix mix of soda ash buffered with baking soda. I used two different blues on the Water fabric but three dyes each on the Sun and the Earth. I used big brushes and it goes pretty fast but it’s a workout moving all that fabric around. This is where it would be nice to have a bigger studio where I could lay out three yards of fabric at a time. Oh well, I’ve figured out ways to do it over the years and I make it work.
