Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

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.

I just dyed two cotton sports bras and a silk shirt in the same dye bath. The bras are now a bright blue, and the shirt is a dark, almost navy blue. If someone had reminded me beforehand that they wouldn't come out the exact same shade, I would have nodded, but I wasn't expecting such a strong difference.

Never mind; it seems to have been an illusion caused by the silk being damper when it came out of the washer. The garments now look very much alike. papersky, you'd like the color.
