This is the first time for me to dye doll hair.
I dyed a wig before, but that was synthetic mohair and I wasn't sure if the same method would work on Barbie hair.
I love red hair. And I couldn't find the best shade to reroot with. So I searched the internet for ways to dye doll hair, permanent I might add.
I tried three times, failing. As it turned out I used the wrong percentage of alcohol and the wrong kind of alcohol ink.
As you are able to tell this time it worked out.
These were two made to move Barbie's, the pink top. I needed their bodies, but now they might even get their own head back :)
I hope they'll dry soon so I can start the repainting process.

After realising I own just one or two lonely-looking skirts, I decided to nab this tie dye skater number from eBay for a mere £9.99. It reminds me of clear blue summer skies streaked with wisps of cloud, and I decided to team it with bright tights to at least pretend the sun is shining. The vest is an ancient staple I bought in H&M yonks ago, the geometric necklace was another eBay bargain at £1.95 and likewise the grey plimsols set me back a whopping £3.95. It's been nice spending out on a few bits and bobs lately.
Sacks of dye sit at a vendor's stall in Chefchaouen, Morocco.
Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier. The city was founded in 1471 as a small fortress by Moorish exiles from Spain led by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. It was known as one of the main concentrations of Moriscos (converted Christian inhabitants of Spain and Portugal of Muslim heritage) and Jews who sought refuge in this mountainous city after the Spanish Reconquista in medieval times. In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco and returned the city after the independence of Morocco in 1956.
Someone done stole the dye vat.

Snaps from an abandoned dye plant in PA.
I didn't really know what to do in processing the whole set of these, so I just processed a couple with VSCO presets and tweaked them a tad. May need to revisit them some time with a little more clarity on what I really aim to achieve in processing.
the two yellow ones is mordanted with 1. oakleaves 2. alum and then dyed with goldenrod.
The one at the left is unbleached cotton and was taken the colours form the goldenrods 1. bath....the second Goldenrod bath made the next yellow one, which is 100 % woolfabric but it had been dyed with a fungus which made is khaki...so the Goldenrod dyeing of the wool is an overdye on a pale brown colour...
The piece of cloth with a pattern is a arashi shibori....mordanted with a second alderbark-bath...coldmordanted....then put into a soymilk solution ( soymilk 1: water 5)...then into coldmordanting with alderbark again....and then dyed with a weak iron/onion solution.....the fabric was some thin cotton which was already having a beige colour while i actually bought it for having it for sewing some inner bag for a small bag i had sewn...but it ended in the dyepot as a try to make some arashi shibori on a pvc tube.....and i did the whole proces cold while i was a bit afraid of heating up the pvctube....

This might be viewed as sacrilege by vintage linen purists, but I've begun the task of dyeing my great-grandmother's needlework.
I think it looks pretty spiffy and I'll actually use it instead of keeping it stowed away in the closet.
wool at the right and cotton on the left but both dyed with Goldenrod...the woo lwas first dyed khakibrown with a fungus...but i was not satiesfied with it and overdyed it with that very strong colouring goldenrod plant....fresh.....
only the cotton are mordanted with first oakleaves....and then mordanted with alum...... the cotton with alum 20 % and the wool is only mordanted with alum 10 %....
(sorry to those who read that i wrote that both fabrics were mordanted with oakleaves...The wool is NOT...only with alum 10 % before the dyeing)
beneath is a piece of cotton from a curtain i had....and it is dyed with heather...flowers and stems and leaves....all from the heather...and it was mordanted with oakleaves and 20 % alum before dyed with heather.....
I really apreciate getting to use alum...it really gives something to the dyeing proces....and together with tannin from oakleaves, oakbark or alderbark which are the ones i use before I dye cotton and linen ( they do give colours also)....the tannin really makes the alum go easier into the fabric (cotton and linen) and that makes it easier for the dyecolour to get into the fabric.....
I no longer keep such detailed records. Just the yarn, what it was dyed and mordanted with, the date, and maybe the location. Nothing about how long it was soaked and simmered and such.
I'm never going to try to replicate any colors exactly anyways. The fun for me is in trying to dye something new, not so much in doing the same thing over again.
It's nice to look back and remember when and where I was in life when I dyed that particular yarn.....Big Sur, California? Orcas Island, Washington? Durango, Colorado? Seattle, Washington?

Rob and I ventured into Coney Island after warped tour yesterday and snuck on a few rides and shot a lot of really hilarious photos and also some nice ones. I've known Rob for almost 4 years! He's one of my best friends.

I let my husband cut my hair...
The lightest color in the front is what I had left over in my hair from last time. I added shocking blue in the middle/crown area and After Midnight in the back/bottom part of my head.
These were sitting unattended in the Sapa market, so I sneaked a shot. I'm not really sure what effect the metallics have on dyes like this. Maybe one of you experts knows?
