Thankfully my test run with the dyes were not as bad as I felt

So Thankfully even though I told my husband I not feeling the flow while working on my dyed pieces they did not turn out as bad as I imagined they would.
One has to love the dyeing process / the unknown it always intrigues me…..Keeps me coming back for more…
So here is reminder of the projects hanging on my new drying rack yesterday
Next photos up are the results...
Test one
Test two (sadly this photographed poorly it is really more of a turquoise/no yellow or green in it at all)
Test three
Test Four 
All four test scarves
Now if only I could say I had the flow today with my HQ16 ;-( sadly had some bobbin trouble today for some reason I'm sure I'll figure it out tomorrow but gives me time to go back to shibori stitching
So until next time….May the Sun shine on you all….

Messed around a little in the wet studio.

Trying to get my bearings again with the color hue dyes. Sadly my basement is not set up with a sink yet so it's hard to do the full dyeing process running back upstairs to get water and other supplies but the color hue dyes can make for some satisfying dyeing and much less mess.
Although since trying the other types of dyeing on silk has spoiled me RE: wanting deeper shades of color versus the softer color of Color Hue dyes.
So discovered some stitched scarves that needed some dye applied
Somehow missing a photo of the new working area full of my dye batches
but here is a look at how the new drying rack is working out
 
Can't wait to get rid of the couch and other spare furniture from my working area
but this photo also is just another view of the hanging fabric,
looking forward to working further with these pieces tomorrow.
Until then "May the sun begin shining on us all BUT just not TOO hot"...
