Can't get much more pink than this! I fancied a change from my natural blonde, and it's pretty easy to dye my hair vivid colours. (It's a lot harder to get the colour out though...)
P.S. There are a few gaps in my Project 365 this year. Unfortunately it's been an 'eventful' year to say the least and I haven't been able to focus on it, but hopefully the rest of the year will remain complete. And there's always next year :-)
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.
CSX southbound daily freight Q643 is rolling through Dyer on the Monon Sub. He's got two shiny BNSF GE's wearing the swoosh for power. The light is still good, in fact very good, as the train is running nice and early, right on the Hoosier State's blocks. You can't repeat this shot today, at least in late light, because someone decided to plant a row of tall evergreens along the right of way, casting shadows over the tracks. I wonder if they'd notice if somebody did a little "yard work" and cut them down. Just kidding.....
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....

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.....

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?

The cochineal insects (from which the natural dye carmine is derived) on this cactus pad are covered by a protective cottony mass which they secrete. They belong to the order Homoptera and are related to aphids, scale insects and mealybugs Female cochineal insects are brushed from the cactus pads, dried, and the bright red pigments are extracted from the dried bodies. One pound of dye represents about 70,000 insect bodies.
I had to smear a few to show the color.... this is for my July Backyard Theme.
1. Washed the alpaca hair in warm water for about 20 minutes
2. Prepared black Ashford acid dye:
I used just a knife point but quite a LOT of water
3. Prepared the dye bath:
Mixed Ashford acid dye, water and 1 table spoon of white vinegar and added then (!) the alpaca hair
4. Stirred the hair constantly for about 30 minutes while water startet to boil
5. The result was disappointing, the color was patchy and not grey, more some kind of purple
6. Next try: Rit Dye Pearl Grey
Filled the pot with fresh warm water, 1/2 cup of salt, 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent and the dye and added then (!) the washed (!) alpaca hair
7. Stirred the hair constantly for about 15 minutes because I liked the color
8. Rinsed the hair in warm water for about 10 minutes, then I washed it twice with warm water and detergent. And then I washed it with shampoo and conditioner and blow-dried it.
I am really happy with the result!
