Hand Dyed Aida Cloth

Lately I've been hand dying some Aida cloth to sell and for personal use. Half of them are listed in my Etsy Shop.

Here is what was used to dye the fabric (Single or Multiples at the same time):

  • Rit Dye (and Other Brands)
  • Tea
  • Coffee
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Beets
There is a plan to try different items to get different results. The trial and error has been fun. The results are amazing. 

Here are some of the results:



Aren't they beautiful?!!

Just don't forget to stop by my Etsy Shop to check out what is listed.

Family Art Session #1

Last night I gathered the whole family to the table for an art session. We created flowers from a tutorial on www.krokrotak.com. It was an absolute fun experience. Even my teenage son joined. These are the art pieces from each member of the family. (Myself - My 17 year old Son - My 8 and 9 year old Daughters)



Why not sit down with your family and have an art session...
