Dye session 1 Process

Image
      For the first piece of cloth that I dyed pictured at the  bottom right I folded the square cloth in half and then folded one have into a triangle and rolled it up completely until it looked like mini burrito. I used 2 cups of water, 1/2 a tablespoon of turmeric and boiled it for 5 minutes. For the second one I used 4 cups of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of turmeric and boiled for 10 mins. I did not fold this piece of cloth I only crumbled it up and through it in to boil. For the 3rd dyed piece of fabric I used 4 cups of fabric, 4 tbsp of turmeric and boiled for  5 minutes. For this boil I folded it into as many triangles as I could. For the final piece of fabric I used 2 cups of water and one table spoon of turmeric and boiled for 5 minutes. I folded this piece into as many squares as I could. I think that my favorites so far are the first and the 3rd one. The 3rd one is the darkest one that came out and I'm really digging this color.

For the first picture I experimented with 2 pieces of cloth and avocado pits. I made sure the avocado pits were below the cloths. The first cloth I left in for 5 minutes and the second for ten minutes. I used 3 cups of water and 3 peels of avocado pits. In the picture with all 4 cloths, you can see the top right is the 5 minutes and the bottom right is the one that was left in for ten minutes. In the saem picture The two pink cloths are ones that I dyed with 5 Strawberries. I used 2 cups of water, and boiled one for 10 minutes and the other for 20 minutes.

Ideally I was thinking of 3 shirts that explore pocket placement in unconventional positions. While my main goal is to embroider different flowers on each shirt. I would like to emphasize that each flower and shirt play different roles. Each flower will be based off the emotions i feel from each piece of inspiration I research. Whether it be a song, poem or other shirts.   Ideally I would like to use the color blue, and white and use different methods of shibori to achieve different patterns. Yellow flowers make happy, purple ones make me feel euphoric, and blue ones make me feel neutral so those flowers will portray my moods on each shirt. Idea 2: For my second idea I would like to explore the same concept of unorthodox or convenient pocket placement but within blankets. I would like to think of these blankets being a "helper" to everyday lo...
