These first four were all made with fabrics from a Ruth Isset workshop. Materials use include fabric dyes, screen printing media, gesso and Markal. Shisha glass, sequins and beads added.
The next four will be dyed with natural dyes. These were inspired by meeting Rachel Powell, an enthusiastic natural dyer, opposite 'By Design,s' stand at the ICHF Fashion Embroidery and Stitch exhibition at the NEC in March 2014.
I have not been impressed by natural dyeing. It is not for me. I has make me wonder what dye catchers are made of though.
