This is a piece I made in the workshop in St. Peter MN. Then since I've been home I've been trying to get a better feeling for the technique. So I've tried 3 different silks, with acid dyes. Acid dyes are so easy when you are trying things! Make up a pot of dye, swish the silk around in it until it gets some color, take it out and open it up. See the results now. Leave the pot, Fold another piece, swish it around in the dye bath....
