Dying Fabrics
For this task, I used a variety of natural foods such as beetroot, onion skins, blueberries and turmeric. I used a few old cotton t shirts lying around the house and cut them into different sizes for dying. I used elastic bands, small pegs and gardening wire to create a tie dye/shibori effect and wrapped it around each piece of cotton before putting it into each dye. I let the pieces of cotton sit in the dye for an hour after boiling the dye. I really love how the tye dye effect has came out and some of the colours are amazing, particularly the blueberry purple and the turmeric yellow.
