Funkadelic Dye
I just wanted to share with you super quick some pictures of the dye. While I was preparing it I noticed the dye was settling in an odd but beautiful pattern. Enjoy!
Rain rain go away...
What a sad rainy weekend! I want to do things outside. Make the rain and dull weather go away!
Well, if I can't go outside.. at least I can reflect on tie dye of past sunny days.
A friend of mine, who is now on vacation in Denmark, needed a sleep sack (also known as a sleeping bag liner) so she could avoid those nastiest that can sometimes live in hostel beds. So I decided to make her one using an old sheet.
It's easier if you use a flat sheet, but I use a fitted full sized sheet because that was all I had at the time. Basically all you do to this, is take a sheet and fold it in half. The sew the sheet shut along one bottom and 3/4ths of the length of the sheet. The flip it inside out and you are done!
Of course if you want to can add Velcro or a zipper to the other 1/4th of the length of the sheet so you can close it more. I added a draw string at the top so she could wrap it up and go.
None the less, enjoy some happy tie dye-ness.
That's the completed sleep sack hanging out to dry. But once again. Do as I say, not as I do: use a flat sheet!

teeny tiny paper beads
Recently I commissioned Angela's Paper Beads to create hundreds of teeny tiny beads for me. Usually I would make my own but I like to support other etsians and somedays I lack the patience needed to make super small beads like this. I got my order from her recently and couldn't have been more pleased. Fantastic!
I just wanted to quickly share with you a few pieces I've made recently with it. They are really simple, mostly because the beads are enough flash! Enjoy!
