Just completed a half step gradation on the 4 browns I'm planning to use for the Pecans series. They are all put to bed in their nice warm batching closet. Tomorrow I'll wake them and give them a wonderful Synthrapol bath!!
Then start with the three greens and a couple of blues. I think any other accent color I can get from my stash.
At least I hope so. My shoulders are killing me. Out of dyeing shape I'm afraid. But...I had forgotten how I love the smell of dye. Brings back very fond memories of first discoveries when I dyed my first PFD fabric. Ah those were the days. But my stash was dwindling and I wanted to be sure I had the same colors throughout the series....so the dyes came out, the mask went on, and the mixing began. I might have gone on to do the green but I ran out of ziploc bags (my favorite dyeing tool!)
Tomorrow is another day.......
