Clamping and dyeing

While cleaning up my studio yesterday  I found these pieces that I forgot to blog about!

For this dyeing experiment, I wanted to use a couple different kinds of resist objects. Here is a light switch cover.

This is a pretty piece but way too light and not a lot of texture. The rubber bands just couldn’t hold it tight enough. I’ll be using the clamps next time.

This was a fun experiment. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are having a wonderful, creative Sunday.
