Pansy dye progress
Posted by laura bellel on July 08, 2017 | 4 Comments
The results of the pansy dye experiment have been interseting and a little suprising. The purple and blue pansies gave beautiful shades of green to the silk organza.

The silk looks a little bluer in the jar. Maybe it's the reflection of the blue and purple flowers in the water.
The silk fabric dyed with yellow and orange pansies is a greenish yellow.

I like these shades, but I'll keep experimenting.
