Dyed cloth hanging on the 'ole clothesline (that I really do use for clothes, by the way).
I started dyeing fabric this summer for the first time. At one point - when I realized I wasn't using dyes but liquid, concentrated fabric paint (ok, ok...you have to like that I fessed up) and was having less than stellar (to say the least) results, I told my husband that I would win the dyeing cloth battle.
The photos above are only a sample of the many, many pieces I created today. As I told my Studio 33 artist friends "I'm in love".
And then, because it seemed like a good idea since the 1/2 bushel of peaches were ripe I made a peach pie. This lovely thing with the heavenly smell could be dinner if my husband person weren't so intent on having protein with the night meal.

Yummmmmmm....the fabrics AND the peach pie! Beautiful.
Denise... I love your dyed fabric.. you said you used fabric paints? Very cool...
Your fabric is beautiful- I'm not clear, is it dyed or painted? Either way, I love it.
And I could smell the peach pie all the way out here in Utah. Yum.
All of this cloth was dyed with procion colors. Awhile back I tried dying cloth with concentrated fabric paints - not on purpose - just because I didn't know what I was doing!

Ahhh I want some of it all!
ok, i gotta couple of things to say here.
1. she does actually use the clothesline. i'm obsessed with using my clothe's dryer because i was raised with line-hung laundry.
2. that fabric is beautiful. i wouldn't mind getting something in the mail made out of it.
3. peach pie?!! i'm jealous. i think i need to visit my mom.
