Fibre Fling 7

This year I'm participating in Fibre Fling again with Out-of-the Box.  The dates are April 6 and 7th.  It will be held in the same place,  Kitchissippi United Church.  Below is the flyer with all the details.  I will be selling my hand printed fabrics and this year I'll also sell some hand dyed fat quarters that I snow dyed!  I'll have my eco print greeting cards there as well.  I'm still working out whether I'll submit any pieces to the show. I hope to see some of you there!

Snow dyeing vs dyeing in a jar

So I thought I would try comparing the results snow dyeing a quarter yard of white cotton fabric and taking the same sized piece of fabric and scrunching it into a small mason jar and pouring over liquid dyes.  I used the same colours and amounts of dye for each.  I used navy blue, scarlet and turquoise. Here is the snow dyed piece below.

 And here is my jar dyed piece below.



I like both of them although they're definitely different.  So what did I conclude from this?  Even if I don't have snow I can get some interesting results.
