Take small pieces of several types of silk... one length of rayon (for another tunic) and one large length for a commission and one pre-made cotton tunic. Soak in soda ash for an hour then drain.
Make up the procion dyes with water and urea.
Dye one batch black.
Dye another black + purple + raspberry (this is the combination for the tunic and rayon length too).
Cover table tops with polythene and lay out fabric, liberally sprinkle with dyes.
Swish around and leave crumpled.
Wash and dry.
Hope Anne likes the final result!
Use up the dye to paint a piece of lutradur - for the inside of a new "tower".
Helen - it looks great - can't wait to see it - Anne
