Dying Fabrics

This was my first attempt at dying fabrics, and i think they turned out quite well. The silk and cotton were both dyed in acid dyes. The colours came out much stronger on the silk and were more muted on the cotton.

These second lot of fabrics were dyed in a similar way, but they were dyed with porcine dyes. The two worked better on the silk fabric but also worked quite well on the cotton too.
