While There is a Break in the Weather!

We are having a few hours of sunshine, so what else would I do but marble a few fabrics so that I can hang them outside to dry. It is supposed to rain again tomorrow all day, so today will have to doI have been whittling away at the pile of uglies that I alum-ed a few days ago and have been ironing each night. Some are definitely more ugly than others but most all are improved with a layer of marbling.

This is really two pieces - the back one is really a brilliant blue now and it was marbled over a lavender piece that wasn't too ugly. The forward piece was a scrap of a larger dye painted piece that was painted with very intense scraped colors.




This was the before piece. It had been dyed and then discharged and really ugly. It is definitely improved in the "after" picture below.

This is the before picture of a not so ugly piece that was a half yard and done by dye painting in a class a few years ago. It was not very exciting and I like the overmarbling below better.

This was done over another of the really ugly gold fabrics. These were fabrics that were commercial yellows and probably had some permanent press in them. I had overdyed them with brown at some point and got the icky mustard color.
