Dye Pot Part Deux

After having so much fun dying the last batch of mohair (yes Nancy, it IS mohair to dye for!!), I did "scrounging" around to find enough fabric to create one more flamingo.

Flamingo fabric, by virtue of the fact that no one makes a pink that I really like, is always a hand dying project.



I have used a lot of different things to dye the white "feather finish" mohair pink, including cherry koolaid and RIT dye.

This batch was dyed using Wilton cake color! (If you've ever done anything with the rose pink color, you know it didn't take much of that stuff to make this lovely color!)

The work on the "test head" is coming along, so it looks like the Bear-in-the-box that we had started a while back will get finished soon.




I finished a tote bag yesterday too. If you would like to see more about the bag use this link.


And so today there are bags and bears and beads to work on.....never a dull moment!!

Don't you just LOVE using the Wilton? I've used it to do some neat yarn dyeing, and it's so easy!
