GD: Azur Sea Gem

Another Azur came to spend Christmas with us and to become transformed in the meantime:)
Lovely mama chose teal and purple colours for it-it actually took a few dips for the teal side to be truly teal-azurs are quite stubborn sometimes!

GD: Zara She Zen

This project was quite challenging as I had never dyed a silk blend wrap before.
But after some (rather unsuccessful) research I managed to come up with my own recipee which surprisingly worked.
With the use of acid dyes then (Silver and Jet Black colours) Zara She Zen was born:







Zara Zen is going to live under California sun:)

GD: Two classics

There is nothing better in this world than a good book and a glass of decent wine to accompany:)
So when I had a chance to dye 2 naked Zaras for my own pleasure, two immortal classics of English literature became my instant inspiration: Wuthering Heights and Sense and Sensibility.
I dyed these two wraps some time ago, but only had a chance to iron and photograph them recently.For mboth I used only Dharma Procion mx dyes.

Here is Wuthering Heights, for which I chose Charcoal Grey and a mix of various purples in order to obtain a real gloomy moors impression; colour combo is similar to my previous Rosalindes grads (but only similar!):






And here`s Sense and Sensibility dyed with Raspberry and Fuchsia pink mix and light Chocolate Brown to reflect the two sides of a woman`s soul.These colours take me back to my first ever grad done on a Chiara, which I hope is still a source of good karma for its` owner...

Fiona`s Mini Rainbow

This wrap (a Lana with stars:) was already dyed with 5 subtle colours when it arrived for a make-over, but the mama who owned it wanted the colours to be more vivid and maybe a bit different.
So I tried my best to make it as vivid as possible given the already dyed background...





I hope this will brighten the gloomy winter days for Fiona!

GD: Dawn after Storm

I have been lucky again to be asked by the lovely German mama to dye another wrap for her. The gradation was to be done on a white Zara and the chosen colours were supposed to be a strong pink and dark grey.
This reminded me of a long-awaited dawn after the night storm on a sea...

GD: Dream Coast

Looks like there are a lot of dreams here recently!
But this one is mine, and the lovely lady who wanted a grad chose to have this one done for her after I had sent her some colour combinations projects-I couldn`t be more happy! I`ve got to do my dream grad and now it is going to live with someone who actually likes it!
I hope it will be well loved-after all, Ms M. has been waiting for it for quite a time, bearing patiently with my colour experiments:)
