Sun Moon Stars

I have joined Jude's sunmoonstars whispering class and I had a lovely afternoon yesterday experimenting with bleach dyeing. Jude showed us how to make stencils using freezer paper. Some results were good, others not so good!  Here is a picture of some of the better experiments. I used a variety of mixes - straight bleach, bleach mixed with cornflour, bleach mixed with Jif, and Harpic Bleach Gel. I am keen to try some more.
An unusual site at the beach today - five swans swimming just off shore! I think they come from the nearby wetlands but it is unusual to see them in the sea.

    The swans would make a great hanging in fabrics, black ones too........we have them only in zoos and posh house gardens over here in uk!
    Must try the bleach idea myself! Thought your results are great.

    Your results are great Deb. I particularly like the top middle one. It is always nice to experiment with new techniques.

    I have never seen swans on the sea before. That must be very unusual.
