Total Lack of Tea

I thought it might be nice to show some of the

unrelated to tea things that I have been up to

I soaked 3 Tshirts in soy milk

and then naturally dyed them

with leaves and some natural dye powder

I had left over from the workshop I taught

at Beautiful Silks last year

I was not entirely happy with the results

But as I tell my students

that is just an opportunity to do something else

Here I printed with the rusty etching plates

seen in a previous post

This one you may want to open in another window

egg printed with a lino block

then dyed with leaves

see tutorial here

This is another Tshirt that has not been soyed

But I have been using it as a paint rag

It is now curing before I wash it

and either wear as is

or overdye

I am thining I may have my new range

of clothes to sell.

And here are some tiny books

All made from bits of old prints

from uni

This is the last of them now

so now I will have to do some new prints

to use in my books

Naturally of course
