Dyeing to have fun

I just bought two new colours, rust orange and burgundy so of course had to had a play with them. I particularly wanted to do some overdyeing as well so did some icky pieces with a navy overdye and then some others with what I had hoped was a dark red but was too fuchsia-ish.

I used some dry fabric that had already been soaked in soda ash and spooned the colours on to cover as much as possible. I used variations of the two browns, a medium blue and some apricot. A greenish colour that I created seems to have disappeared on the fabric but there are patches of blue amongst the terracotta and burnt orange tones. There is a small pinkish tinge from the apricot. I am quite happy with how things turned out.
