I used simple food dyes as well as a tea dye and got some really bright colours.
While drying some muslin got bumped off the drying rack with some of the
wadding, tea got spilled on it and the image above is the result.
The dyes, non colour fast, ran. A happy accident
They should be quite bright, I expect. The following are some sketches I made in the first class of some ideas that popped into my head for this particular class.
