Prue spent some time today playing more with sun prints. She produced these beautiful pieces earlier. The green and purple ones were made using Shibori-like bunching and bundling, but using the Setacolor Soleil paints. Aren't they great? The pink one was made with doilies laid onto the wet fabric, but the doilies obviously let some light through while the paint was drying, so the effect is very muted and hard to see in a photograph. It's quite delicate and really lovely.
She also made some pieces for our next challenge, due in June. Carol rescued some coffee mugs that have a space between the clear outer and the inner mug. We decided we would make a piece of art to go in this space, and have our own individual art mugs. Prue made three sun prints today:
Aren't they gorgeous? So already she has three beautiful "looks" for her coffee mug. Look out for more finished coffee mugs next month.

I do like the sunprints - did you already have tried solar dyeing? xDorie
Hi Nola, thanks for your email. With solar dyeing is mentioned the techniqye which is described in the book of India Flint. And I think you will find can find some more information on internet by Google. In a simple way is it that you will fill a glass with natural coloured water, put you fabric in it (stuffed maybe with some leaves for contactdyeing) and leave it for several months. I haven't done it yet, but here in the Netherlands the summer will start in a month. And I was wondering what will happen if you will use lemonjuice for bleaching. This is something I will try too. Succes - do you like the experiments I did on my creative blog (www.dovadi.web-log.nl/fiberfusing)? xDOrie
