Dying Days

Lesley and Donna took advantage of the heat wave in Calgary and spent 5 days dying cottons. The first 2 days were spent dying pale backgrounds then they thickened the dyes with sodium alginate and painted the next layers of dye on the cloth. They worked their way through the techniques in Ann Johnston's book 'Color by Design'.
