The instructions for the Helen Melvin dye jar said put on a sunny windowsill, or in your conservatory or outside. It would rain today wouldn't it!!
It won't be staying here as I am afraid it might ferment and explode out of the jar so it will be going outside onto our hot, sunny patio before too long.
I also did a bit more to the bag for my Travelling Journal ...
I used some Procion dyes to which had been added some Manutex. I thought they might be unusable as they have been made up for ages, but they still seem to work. First of all I pulled some white acrylic through a stencil using a small squeegee. I put too much colour onto the main piece so used it up on an odd piece of calico. I shall give them a wash perhaps tomorrow. They will go much lighter coloured, even if I use Synthrapol.
Apart from that I have messed about with ideas for the books I have to make for an exhibition in August and chased three squirrels that have been entertaining themselves in the garden for most of the day.
