Making Moon Trees
Yes, of course there are trees on the moon. And I needed them to be more greenish that brownish. Brown has its place but I hardly consider it a color. To me, brown is another gray.
So, I had these brownish trees that matched the greenish trees of
Green Moons Forest. In the studio, on a shelf, just above the coffee pot, I reached for the Rit dye.
Ahhh haaaa! Coffee pot still hot! Why not!
I added a small amount of green dye to the hot coffee. Tossed the brownish trees into the pot. Ran about two cups of water through.
Wa la!
Greenish moon trees.
After rinsing, pin the stack of trees together and dry with a load of laundry.
you are doing a great job with the cloth to cloth techniques!
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying watching your work.....you are truly a creative person! My name is Jude...(notDave) as it might show. I am a quilter...painter and teach music as my job. I do as you do, and go to whatever speaks to me each day.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny dying in your coffee pot. Actually I should confess that the girls and I dyed some of our apron fabric in my coffee pot too;) I guess it's genetic
