I have a lot to update here, but of course no time when I need it...I`ll try however to do my best to show some of the recent dye jobs, and will start with the newest fishy wrap by Didymos.
This is Pesci Nebbia, the first ever woven (by Didymos) with the use of naturally dyed linen fibre. The effect is light yellow on the verge of delicate lime green. That is surely very pretty, unfortunately, in its` lightness, too tempting to experiment with colours:) It felt a bit strange to overdye the first naturally dyed wrap, but then I decided this shade of yellow was not complimenting my skin tone very much:)
So I mixed some reds (with main colours being Burgundy, Fire Engine Red and jet Black) and a stunningly shimmery Stendhalesque fishies emerged:
I love how the colours peeks through in between the black threads, which of course remain black during the dye process! I named it Nebbia Hoernum for obvious copycat reasons;)
Then I got itchy fingers and knew I wanted to try another colour. I had to buy another wrap; luckily my friend fell in love with Nebbia Hoernum and off to live with her it went.
New arrivals then took a bath in a mixture of Aqua, TUrquoise, Cayman Isle green and Jade green (which in reality is bright teal). I must have overdone it with greens though, as it came a bit too green for my taste...Nebbia Lagoon:
So I`ll probably redip it in some more turquoisy shades. But not very soon, as there are 3 other shoals of Nebbia fishies waiting in their boxes to be dyed before they can go to their homes:)
