Dyeing ties for the wedding...maybe here is the green one, as our colors have turned out to be purple and green (surprising) and I didn't think he would be happy with a lavender tie.
Portraits of Egg Dye Attendees. I'm reminded of the Sunday School song. Jesus loves the little children, red and yellow, black and white....
Inspired by a a natural egg dye class, I had a little impromptu egg dying party. I winged the recipes a little too much (I learned later the right amount of vinegar is the key, and simmering veggies on the stove helps deepen the dye.) The beets and turmeric worked best. And the Red onion and spinach worked ok. The yellow onion didn't get a deep orange like I hoped, and the cabbage blue was faint. But all in all, I think I will never dye eggs with PAAS again!
To dye the dress pieces, I hung up pieces of rayon soaked in soda ash solution, then painted on stripes of dye with foam brushes. I started with the darkest color and added water to dilute to get progressively lighter shades.

Dan Dyer playing a powerful set at Bend Studio in Dallas on February 29, 2008. On this occasion he brought a full band with him and spent most of his time playing keyboards (oh, and singing of course!) - thanks Dan!
My first time ever doing poodle feet/face and dying a poodle. It's a lot easier to dye a compliant dog (read: Bonaparte) but this didn't turn out too badly when you think about it. He looks really cute, although the deep blue isn't deep enough IMO so you really don't see a "fade". Oh well, next time.
