Kat's black & white Indio part 1

Kat sent me a black & white Indio and asked for peacock colours.  I LOVE dyeing B&W Indios.  I adore the contrast.  I've started by doing the whole thing a bright blue.  I will continue by doing an emerald/jade green grad from one side and purple from the other.


Tarn's tussah fish Ring Sing

Tarn asked for a bright (but not neon) green dip.  Here is a photo of her with her beautiful squish having cuddles in it. <3


Alison's Starry Night Raven

Alison sent me her Oscha SNR and asked for a pink/purple grad. I suggested doing a splash on each rail instead of overlapping in the middle so there would still be a section of silvery starry goodness in the middle.

Black and white Indio pt.2

I did the magenta half of the grad tonight, and it's turned out much more vibrant than the green, so I've decided to give the green another dip tomorrow :)

Black and white Indio.

Rachel responded to my ISO for a dyeable shorty, with the offer of a size 6 black and white Indio for me to dye then split into a shorty for me and a ring sling for her.  We had a chat and decided on a jade green/magenta grad but not meeting in the middle, so a splash of colour on each rail.  I kept the dye quite dilute so as to keep the contrast.  Here's the first part:

Kylie's patchy diorite!

Kylie sent me a dyed diorite wrap which she had bought and discovered a patchy bit down one rail.  She asked me to do a dark purple grad from that side to cover it.  I find it reminiscint of van gogh's Starry Night now (one of my favourite paintings)
