Sakura Pallette

Sakura Pallette - Pink and Grays 

Still showcasing Candy G.'s favorite analogous color palettes from her Fabric Dyeing 103 class on multi-color fabrics.  In truth I diverged a bit from the proscribed colors in this lesson. 

Candy had a Tiger Lily pallette with orange amongst the grays.  I oped to swap out the rusty orange for a light pink, which I dubbed Sakura, in honor of cherry blossoms.

Part of the reason I wanted to take this class was to combine colors on clothing blanks.   I have a dress I want to do in this color scheme. ;-)

 Here's the accordion-pleated half yard.  I love the way this turned out!

 Here are the individual fat quarters staged atop the scrumbled half yard.

 Detail shot.  I am intrigued by the places where the original colors meet.  Where they come together, we get entirely new colors mixing on the fabric.

 In this one you can see a hint of lavendar where the pink and gray comes together.

Here's the sample accordion pleat batching in the low-water immersion dye pot. 

Rich deep colors gave me a lot of hope for this one!

 

Here's the scrumbled half yard batching in the dye pot.

Here are the 3 isolated colors dyed on individual fat quarters atop the scrumbled half yard.
You can see a fair amount of yellow in the green.  I'd forgotten to re-mix the dye before I poured it.  The yellow has a tendency to settle out.  Not quite what I was hoping for.

Here's another view.

 Here's the accordion pleated half yard.  Again, the light was a little odd when I took the photograph, so it' doesn't quite look like it does in real life.

Here's a detail shot, with truer colors.

 Here are all 4 individually dyed colors isolated on their own fat quarter, staged atop a multi-colored scrumbled half yard.

 Here's the accordion-pleted half yard.  Again, the light was funny when and where I photographed this one, so it doesn't quite look true to life. 

Another view of Moonlit Moth.

There doesn't seem tobe much difference between the light turquoise and the plain turquoise.

I don't think I got any shots of the fabric batching in it's bins for this one.

Just documenting my homework in the Candy G's Dyeing 103 : Multicolored Cloth.

Here's the sample accordion fold 5-inch square batching in the dye pot.

This is low-water immersion, so it's not actually a dye pot.

Here's the scrumbled half yard in the dye pot. 

You can see how deep the colors are in the pot, and how much gets washed out by the end ...

I am using Roclon muslin for the class.  No-- it was not recommended by Candy.  That's my fault.  I didn't realize it had a permanent press finish on it.   That important fact was not stated in the online description, or I would have chosen something else.  That may be why my final product is not as brilliant as I'd hoped.

Here are the scrumbled fat quarters batching in their bins.

It's a nice visual of the depth of color between the different tones.

 Here's the 1/2-yard piece in the folded accordion format, batching in the bin.

Detail from the washed and dried accordion-folded half yard. 

 Here's another shot of it.

Here's the scrumbled half yard, staged with the individually dyed fat quarters.

The color is kind of washed out here, but I hope you get the idea.
