Things completed and mumblings of interest
Next up, is a report on the results of washing the walnut ink dyed fabrics from yesterday's post. Well, I'm happy to say that the colour did not change at all!! I was really afraid to put them through the washing machine and, being rather forgetful, I didn't remember to iron them first! Thought of it when they were part way through the wash cycle when it was a bit late!! I certainly wasn't looking forward to hauling them out of the machine, but they are fine.
And, finally, here are a couple of pictures of the finished journal from my on line class with Carole. I'm really happy with it, even though I did get a bit carried away and made mine about three times as thick as it should have been!! Thank you Carole, so much, for this!!
I would strongly recommend that if you're thinking about taking an online class, that one facilitated by Carole would be a great investment!!

Thank you for sharing the results of your black walnut dying! Very interesting and I love how they turned out. Your journal looks lovely, even if you say it's thicker than should have been. To me, it looks like a textural wonder that you just want to grab up and open... just to see what is next and feel the pages and cover.
ReplyDeleteCarole IS a fantastic and inspiring teacher AND I adore your book, that image on the cover is perfection!!!

Your black walnut dyeing was interesting. You sure did get a good batch and I can see lots of brown ink dyed pics in your future.

HI MA! Your book is gorgeous! I like the thickness of it. That inself says alot!
ReplyDeleteI love the results of your walnut ink. Bubba found a black walnut in the yard yesterday. Must have been left by a little squirrel. Anyway, we need to go hunting for a few more. I'd like to give this a try.
And thank you for mentioning my article. I hope it helps anyone coping with the misery of depression and/or a breakdown.
Hugs to you dear one!
