Ice dyed shibori tops for Flora

Fibre art / By

Purple and pink are her favourite colours and mine too! so it wasn’t difficult selecting the dyes that I would use to create some special gifts for a little girl.

The tops were white to begin and with some folding, ice and time they became colourful, fun and summery!

They will look great with the shorts and leggings in pink, blue and purple. For extra flair the blue leggings are sparkly! Just what every little girl wants!

I can’t wait to see these on her. She will be the best dressed, most colourful child on the playground this summer!

Snow dyeing photography shoot

I am working on a final photography project and have shot a lot of images. Thank goodness, my camera is digital. I can’t imagine how much film I would have had to process and then discard! red blue yellow black dyes in pewter cups on fence doris lovadina-lee toronto ontario canada

These are three photographs I took this weekend that won’t be including in the final cut.

Although I won’t be using these photos, I am very happy with the results and wanted to share them with you.red dye on ice close up doris lovadina-lee toronto textile artist photo shoot

My plan is to take photographs in natural light. But, with the weather not cooperating, I will need to think creatively in order to finish this project. Unfortunately, moving to sunnier, tropical climates is not an option at this time!
