With or without lid?..that is the question!

Decided to iron all the pieces of silk, cotton, canvas and muslin l have dyed lately and l had not realised l had produced soooooooooooo much. So now l am starting to divide pieces up to "create"with them. I also ironed the 6 pieces of watercolour paper l had dyed and they came up really well too. I discovered that once the pieces are ironed the leave patteren comes out really well. In fact, some pieces were amazing once ironed, that before l had thought l might dye again.

After much reading and talking to other Eco dyers, l decided l would steam my bundles covered with water and with no lid on ( the way most people seem to be doing it)....to see how different the outcome might be to the way l have been doing it.  That is to say, steaming in a basket with holes in "over " simmering water (not in water) and a lid on......l await the outcome with much excitment!

Night.
