The artists at the Nest Arts Factory got to reconnect with each other due to low attendance. Here's the fabulous painter and nature girl Janice Sweetwater and me. My piece Outer Space;Just Like I Pictured IT" is behind us along with a poem about it---that was the theme of the show--not space,but how poetry and visual art blend so well....

Tie Dyed this Winter contd..

This is my favorite part of tie-dying! Revealing what I might have created by unwrapping the rubber bands. Almost looks like the first bloom of Spring! Can't wait to get all the bands off!!

I am still not sure about the shades of grey.

Now this is exciting! I unraveled one of the long sleeves to find this fun band.

I am so glad I purchased Fushia dye to go with my Orange and Red!

 

I CAN NOT wait til I unwrap all these babies!

I may not post tomorrow because Im going to Flushing to visit my Mom.

Friday definitely!!

Thankyou!

What did U do this Winter continued...!

So, yesterday these babies were all white. Nothing like a little color,eh?  I used fushia,salmon and bright red.Yummy!

Then again, nothing's cooler than shades of grey, which I hope this turns out to be, it's not looking very "shady " to me right now.Keep your fingers crossed!

This is a short sleeved T that a man ordered . He wants 2 shades of blue and a "touch of yello" Groovy!

 

Stay tuned tomorrow for the unwrapping of the bands!!!

Thankyou!

what did U do this Winter?

I decided to tie dye some T shirts. I love the way they look all rubber-banded up and ready to accept color!!!
Messy? Nope. I use Dye-Na-Flo and a paintbrush to apply onto moistened fabric.
Stay tuned to find out how they turn out!
