I didn't realize dyeing fabric lead to so much washing...and washing...and washing again. zikes! Even MacBeth is worn out!

At the end of the day I think I like the baggie method over the dye painting method. The fushia and the blue were done in the baggies....

Maybe I'm just not that creative...but what do I do with these large pieces (I know what Bonnie would say - cut them up small!)
I have a bag in mind and may sketch it out this afternoon....seems a shame to hack at this fabric after all the effort has gone into making it!

Oh yes, a purse is the perfect thing to show off your hard work!
a bag would be really fun using that last fabric. wheee.
That is the cutest picture ever of Macbeth. Looking forward to seeing the purse :-).
The fuchsia is beautiful, and leaving the painted fabric whole is a perfect solution. It looks good.
Not that creative --- are you off your rocker (again)? Ahh, MacBeth does look a little tuckered out there Mum.
It does seem a total shame to hack that fabric up. I dig it. It's zesty!
I like the fabric painting a lot!! And if the "work" isn't that fun than I'd not do it again. You have some really cool fabric now though:)
Great job! I feel the same way about the washing (& washing, & washing). I like to use the plastic dixie (adult-size) plastic cups, but think I will add baggies into my mix next time I dye.
Enjoy your creations!
It appears you had a very productive time dying fabric. What fun!
I'd love to see what you do as I still have some pieces from a Shibori dyeing workshop that I never put to good use!
Good luck with deciding on a pattern for your fabrics. A bag would be good for letting the design really show.
It was good to see a pic of MacBeth also. . .hope he is doing well.
Those fabrics are great!!! You did a wonderful job. I'd have a hard time cutting it up, too, after all that work, but a bag would be wonderful!!

Oh, pretty!! Such vivid wonderful colors...I agree, showcase that lovely work!

You'll love using your new yardage, I'ms ure.
