Newly dyed silk charmeuse

Dyed Charmeuse

Spent a recent morning acid dyeing lots of half yard pieces of silk charmeuse. Luscious colors! I love charmeuse for the sheen and how it drinks up the color.

After I cherry pick a few spectacular pieces that I can’t part with, the rest will be up for sale during the Brattleboro WestArts Open Studio Tour September 25th-26th. There will also be some beautiful hand dyed cottons, new small mounted work as well as large pieces.

  I know, Jeanne! I love the way light slightly shifts the color when I change viewing position. Is this what you use for those beautiful scarves I see on your blog?
