This shoot was so much fun minus the extreme Georgia heat. I shot mainly around the PCS Studio Warehouse/Goat Farm..but I would have not been ANYWHERE without thanks to Wil Hughes for his help! :)

This is a photo from class last year. The assignment was "snack food in unusual places." This was not the final print - it needed more burning. I was recently experimenting with natural photo dyes. I steeped some sumac & let this sit in it for two hours & this is what happens. I really want to get back in the darkroom.

Dyeing cotton thread indigo to sew with

I was bored last night and had a brain fart - why not add dye to water in a plate and take pictures of it?

So I did.

After dyeing, I've been lately setting it in the microwave to heatset.

This is post-microwave, during plastic removal.

Dye was neon pink and neon purple, though I used quite a bit so it should be deeper.

Peels and pits. Not quite the color I expected. Next time I’ll try on linen.

Got to meet with Tracy who I met on ravelry.com. She taught me to dye using food coloring in the microwave. Opened up a whole new world of possibilities to me.

Two hanks of Knitpicks dye your own sock yarn. On the left, purple, green, blue, and black. On the right, different intensities of pinky purple.

This was really fun, I may have to get some of my own dyes now.
