down in the dungeon

It’s been so hot and humid here, i’ve had to do my current ice dyeing in the basement! I did learn a lesson as well: silk just doesn’t give me the same satisfaction with colour breaking and pattern dispersion. Oh well, will just stencil or work more colour into this some other way. Though originally intended for some scarves, i think this one will become a flowy summer top for me.

The cotton “drop/sop cloth” under is lovely, destined to be a cushion cover.

I finally convinced my boss that it would be in her interest too, if she carried some of my “bread and butter” products–though i did have to explain that phrase as it doesn’t translate well into Farsi 🙂

I’ve also added a few more of the “res fabrics” to the shop, and thank you very much for looking and your support!

I’m also planning these again–the Hippie Chick Packs are now an annual summer offering!
