We learned a few other methods of binding and wrapping and other resists on Saturday as well, and had some homework to get pieces ready for dye baths on Sunday. We actually did 4 different colors both days. Some items went in only one, others were overdyed. Our first 2 were rust orange and bright yellow, followed by sea foam and emerald green later in the day.
Some of the methods we learned in the afternoon were the spiderweb, accordion folding and tying, and tying "bundles" around small rocks and pebbles. The top two were in emerald green; the bottom one is sea foam.
I'm glad I have this picture of the sea foam (rock resist); I ended up overdyeing this piece so most of this pattern is obscured in the next step. I also pole wrapped a scarf that was dyed in the sea foam.
Our homework was to complete the stitch resist pieces we were working on - one was creating a wave pattern, and another was concentric half circles - the Japanese larch - and anything else we wanted to have ready to dye on day 2. The straight stitched piece below is another scarf.
I spent several hours Saturday evening doing the stitches on these 3 pieces. Results tomorrow.
