For my current collection I hand dyed these silk samples. The theme for the collection is "Ethereal Spring." I chose to use a double faced silk charmeuse, because of its high luster and light weight. Unfortunately these samples did not turn out exactly as I had hoped, but they are still none the less beautiful. I plan on doing some more samples on a cotton fabric instead. While the silk in itself is ethereal, its luster actually fades/over powers the color! I am wanting to create more of a contrast.
The "patterns" are supposed to represent rainfall. I achieved the raindrop effect by sprinkling the dye directly on the fabric as opposed to premixing it!
