I always enjoy dyeing and the serendipity that it brings. There are some odd colour combinations, some unexpected surprises (well it is all unexpected really) and there were a couple of "why on earth did I do that!" pieces as well. There was nothing that cutting up into smaller pieces won't fix. And for once I ironed it straight away - usually it gets folded and put away with the ironing only being done when I want to use it which is what I always do anyhow, iron just before I use it that is.
I am feeling a bit more relaxed now and ready for the stresses of the coming week and coping with all that I have to fit into it.

These look yummy! And yep, I agree - nothing that can't be fixed by cutting it small enough (or overdyeing!)
Those fabrics look FABULOUS - maybe the ones you aren't too pleased with you can use some of Jane's techniques or even Rayna's and do more surface design to them!
I've been surprised at how some of the fabrics I've made that I didn't like much to start with have turned out to be some of my favourites- cut 'em up and see!
And nothing that some printing on top of won't fix! My ugliest hand-dyes make the best end products.
Get out those screens and stamps and foils and go to work!
