I've tried all kinds of French dyes, silk paints, cotton dyes etc, and I would like to make the following observations:
- Procion MX has a short shelf-life - use it th...
I dye a lot of silk fibres, fabric and also fleece using acid dyes which are easy to use and give a lovely strong colours. They are easily come by in the UK and I am sure you could get them in the States. They are generally reasonably priced and m...

Quinn's Tree
The tree in my user icon (larger photo attached) was done on a piece of hand-dyed silk. It's painted with Luimere paint (shades of gold & copper), and the leaves and stars are made from polymer clay.
It is a block in a quilt made as a memorial for the son of a friend of mine who died from a heart deformity when he was very small. There was a particular tree he loved, and his parents bought a bench to sit in front of that tree with his name on it - that was the inspiration for the block.
