But if not, here's a pic:
So, the paper just so happens to be called "Stardust". I "dyed" this thread quite a while back, but didn't give it much thought until recently. And really, I only dyed three skeins of size 20 and one of those I have kept for myself. Anyway, I say "dye" because the way this was dyed was by taking dry powder dye and lightly brushing it around the wet thread. That way, only small flecks of dye got on the thread. This means that the different colors that are in the mix of gray that I used were separated. That's what causes this effect:
Looks pretty cool if you ask me. It's no work of art, but it's fun.
This is what it looks like worked up:

This little flower was tatted with Size 20 "Stardust"
I guess you could call it a "doodle" or just a playing around motif.
I like it.
The abbreviated pattern is
Round 1
Ring 6+3-3
Chain 5+5+
Round 2
Chain +8+8
Round 3
Chain +12-4+4+12+
Wow, Jess! I know next to nothing about dying thread. But, the technique with the grey is really interesting. I don't use grey much, but if you do it in a blue, green, red, etc, let me know! I will be your first customer.
ReplyDeleteIt will be so neat to meet at Tat Days.

Thanks Linda, I will try it with different dye mixes. I bet they would be pretty as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to meet you as well!
We'll have to set up some time to meet up after Tat Days since we live so close to one another! :o)
