Layers n Layers

I've spent a couple of afternoons just playing around with layers on some scraps of silk.  Here's the final product:


I started with a 1/2 yard of silk crepe de chine which I dyed a yummy yellow orange.  I applied soy wax using a petal stencil, and here's how it looked:




I added another layer of dye, and here's what I got:




that was 'ok', but I wanted more, so I added the final layer of dye, and the results were what you saw in the first picture.  The best part about all of this is: I actually took notes, so I can duplicate this!  Now, that is a first for me!

PEACE

beautiful! Even taking notes, I will be interested to see if the next one turns out exactly like this one.
