New Itajime Piece and More

Yesterday I created a new Itajime piece and over-dyed a few pieces.


The fabric was folded in thirds then accordion folded into triangles. 
I clamped it and soaked it in soda ash. Then I removed the clamps and applied dye by using squeeze bottles. Next I wrapped it in plastic and let it batch for 20 hours.The picture doesn't do it justice. I think my lighting was off. I like how it really glows.



Here's one I over-dyed. The original fabric is on the left. I scrunched it up, placed it in a plastic container and added a little Deep Orange to it.  I think it has more depth now.
