dye: color effects

[redbird]

These are the garments I dyed this past weekend. I didn't get a good photo of the shirt as shirt, but what I have is enough to show the contrast between the cotton exercise top and the silk shirt. Same dyes, same dye lot, different fabrics. I didn't fiddle with color on these photos at all. The silk shirt really is purple and green, and the cotton bra really is blue and green, with much less contrast.

Ohhhh! The silk shirt colors are dreamy: wonderful, subtle, the essence of irises!

The bra is really beautiful!

Totally different greens, too. Fascinating.

Those are both gorgeous, but I actually said "Wow!" out loud as I scrolled down my friends page and saw the silk shirt. I still find it amazing that the colours came out so different, even though I know a bit about how dyeing works in the chemical sense.
