I finished doing the spirals for my June spiral swap yesterday. It’s finicky working with small pieces of fabric – about 11″ x 14″. I used tweezers to grab the middle of the fabric so I could turn it and then held the fabric with elastic bands instead of doing it in the bowl like last time. The result was a tighter spiral. I also for the most part used a few 10ml syringes to apply the dye. I had better control but it took forever to keep filling them up and using them. All done though and here are the results:
Spirals.
More spirals
Final yellow and golden yellow spiral.
And then from my garden:
Just to prove that I did indeed get some berries from the garden this year. A mad fight with the chipmunks to see who gets the ripe ones first.

Wow the spirals did come out well. I could see how it would be fiddly though – glad it was you and not me…vbg. Nice to see you did win one round with the chipmunks….vbg.

Love your spirals Karen! And those strawberries look so yummy! I had to laugh when I read you had to make a mad dash out to beat the chipmunks from getting your ripe strawberries.

These are gorgeous. And actually, I really like the yellow one – subtle, but lovely.

Hi Karen, your colour wheels are lovely and I find your dyeing impressive. Just not me I am afraid.
Thanks for stopping by.
