This Gems Opal was dyed in a workshop setting using Lanaset dyes in an electric skillet. We warped the color sections then dyed them. I love it!
I did a dyeing session with other ladies!

Good example of how the bleach lifts in different stages which creates multi-tones.
Fireweed exhaust dye. Iron-modified, copper-modified, and un-modified, from left to right respectively.
Experimented with rust dyeing today, in which I sprayed rusty objects and an old white sheet with a white vinegar and water solution. After leaving for 12+ hours, this is the result. Currently undergoing the fixing process, using hot water and salt. Moving onto the textiles rotation next week at college, and I hope to be able to incorporate this technique somehow as I adore the textures and aged effect it leaves behind.
