SURPRISES IN THE MORNING
After cooling down and sitting in the dyepot overnight, my bundles were ready to be unrolled. There's always anticipation (and excitement) as I undo each bundle.
This bundle was wrapped around a copper pipe and was a piece of lightweight wool.
Nice clean prints.
Interesting greens from the copper pipe, I think.
The next few pieces were dyed using the nuno felt pieces that I made.
Lovely eucalytus -- vibrant rusty orange prints.
More eucalyptus -- greens and golds.
Love these prints -- various eucalypts and many colors.

CLEVER!!!! I love the random effect and color tints and will definitely give it a swirl of play. Thanks for the inspiration :D Are you ready for your fiber show? I remember you said it's a HUGE one. Hope you'll share what you have made for the show before selling out :D
