Memorial Weekend Fun!
This weekend I decided to take a break from the #90daysofscrapping. I have so many scraps of fabric and had so many projects in mind that I kind of "overloaded" myself. When I get "overwhelmed" / "overloaded", I tend to shut down. So, I tabled the scrapping projects and decided to work on my neglected Etsy shop. ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeashellysFiberArts ). I started friday with soaking 8 oz mulberry silk roving in vinegar water to get it ready for dyeing. This will take a long long time. By saturday morning it was ready to receive it's colors. I added dye to my silk roving and proceeded to let that soak through. With silk, you have to let the dye work it's way through the fibers before adding heat. I couldn't help notice that the silk in the solution looked like pudding.... Meanwhile on saturday, I dyed up some 12 oz of rommey wool trying to replicate a blended batt I created a couple years ago as part of my NEWT wit
