More hand-dyeing

[redbird]

I have done another batch of multi-colored garments, or at least hope I have. If I'm lucky, I now have two blue-and-purple exercise tops/bras, and one blue, purple, and white long-sleeved silk shirt. If not, the blue and purple are too similar and I won't have a multi-color effect, but I'll still have things I can wear to work out in. I'll know when they dry. But I've been getting a lot of nice comments on the green-and-purple from the first round of this, last year, and wanted to do it again.

The other thing that's certain is that once the garments are dry, I will need to wash the bathtub, because it also has blue streaks and spots. But it was due for that anyway, so a bit of added incentive may be for the best.

If I get results I like, I'll put photos up. The previous batch are on my Flickr page (rosvicl).

I thought you were dying your hand! I do that every now and then because the powder for the rehydration fluid will puff on the counter a bit and then I put a damp hand down on it. It takes about four days to come off.

Well, I wasn't trying to dye my hand, but yes, the dye did get on my hands quite a bit. Two showers and some additional hand-washing yet, what I seem to have is blue under the fingernails. (I am not sure how long it's going to last on/under the mended nail.)
