More Discharge

I spent about 8 hours discharging yesterday...

and some pieces are still in the works!

The pieces I'm showing you here 

are all my own hand-dyed linen,

which I have discharged used Jacquard's Discharge Paste,

and leaves from around my yard.

Above is some type of oak.

I think the best news I have is that

this discharge paste is at least 6 years old,

and it still works beautifully!

Most of these are dinner napkins,

primarily for us,

as we do not use paper.

(actually, above is a scrap of fabric

that I was using as a test)

I love this grape leaf:

This is a Winged Gum:

Another scrap of linen:

The leaf on the left was discharged while I was at Arrowmont,

using print paste with Thiox added,

while the one on the right was done here at home

using Jacquard's Discharge Paste.

It took a while, but eventually

the leaf on the right also turned that lovely turquoise.

I also played around with a Thiox bath yesterday,

and was using up some old Thiox -

hey, why throw it away if it still works?

The results look good,

so I hope to share those in a day or two.

Thanks for dropping by!

Peace to you!
