It's Family Day here in New Brunswick & across many provinces.
Happy President's Day to those in the US.
Well, I guess I’ll always dye like I cook.

Well, I guess I’ll always dye like I cook.
A bit of this,
a dash of that...
a dash of that...
I can't seem to follow a recipe.
I mixed approx 1/2 Cushing packet of Salmon with a dash of Blue
to dull down bright cobalt blues,
electric purples,
orange-browns and turquoise.
They were all flat before dyeing , meaning solids with no colour variations.
I know I should have taken a before photo of all but I just did this one.
Left, before and right is after dyeing.
These are post dye photos of very bright hues.
Next time I'll marbleize;
it’s been years since I have.
I use the Karen Kahle method of sandwiching
a light,a dark, and a medium and allowing the colours
to bleed and meld.
Lots of fun because you never know quite
how it will turn out.
Yep, just like my cooking!
I snapped this picture on my walk with dog Lucy today.
Don't care for snows this high!
Now I can see what exactly it is that Lucy sniffs in the summer months though!

I wish I was as brave. I use recipes and it still didn't come out right. I have done the karen kale dying and I should do it again!

Primitive hooking is perfect for the experimental dye pot. I wouldn't be able to replicate the same outcome time and time again as so many smaller cut patterns require!
