More from the Last Dyeing Batch -- the Small Pieces

I decided to photograph the pieces in groups of nine from now on as I think it shows them off better.  This is the first grouping of the Intense Blue/Strongest Red/Sun Yellow batch.  My process (or lack there of) is to randomly pile the pieces on top of one another on the grids so I never know what I am going to come up with.  I am super pleased that I am getting so much differentiation of color on these relatively small pieces.  I tried to be selective with the dropping of the spoonfuls of dye.  As you can see from all the orange and green, the yellow spreads a lot and that was the third dye I laid down.



 There were 22 in the primary pile and 26 in the blue pile.  I tried to do even amounts but great care is obviously not in my genes.  I also was lazy and didn't clean the plastic tubs or the grids before this bunch and I paid the price in some of the small blue ones which have spots of red on them.  I am already planning ways to use them!!  A friend told me a long time ago that "dye dogs" are just golden opportunities and I truly believe that!!

The second piece on the top row is the only piece in the primary batch that I wasn't crazy about!!



You can see the renegade dye on the second piece in the top row!

The following are just closeup of some of my favorites from this last bunch.  Be warned -- there are a lot of them.  It will be hard to give any of them up!!
