I was\noverwhelmed by a dying frenzy. This time I decided to make circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this purpose, I prepared a fabric, ruler, needle, thread and dissolved dyes in<\/em> water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I folded the fabric in half, then, with a ruler that I made myself, for which the idea came<\/em> from something I saw online, I drew half-circles. Please note that we draw the half-circles from the inside of the folded material.      <\/p>\n\n\n

The ruler worked great. Maybe I will buy the real one someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the half-circles were drawn, I started making a basting stitch on the lines. I tried to<\/em> make equal intervals between the punctures. I left a loose thread at the beginning and<\/em> at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After basting, starting from the smallest semi-circle, I gently pulled off the stich from both sides basting. Wrinkles began to form on the fabric. When the fabric was ready, I dipped it in soda ash. After about an hour I pulled it out, pressed, it and then put it to the side ready for dyeing.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For this purpose, I used a painting grid, which I bought in Castorama.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I put the grid on the bucket, then put the previously prepared fabric on it<\/em> and started dyeing. I dissolved the paints in drinking water bottles with a spoutand poured them over the fabric. I covered the dyed fabric with foil and set them aside for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, while preparing the dyes, I killed\nmy phone, so I do not have any pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After rinsing and drying the fabric, these\npretty circles appeared.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

But did you notice that one part of the fabric has such nice vivid colors while the other one is a little dimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is visible in all three photos of the fabric. I think I know why this happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the folded fabric was laying on the grid, I poured the dye on one side only. Paint on the other just soaked. After pouring, I should have turned over the<\/em> fabric and poured the paint on again in the same way. This way the dye enters thefabric from both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this is only my best guess right now. I must try this<\/em> again, and then we will see if I was right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
