Last week's class with
Elin Noble was definitely a techniques and knowledge class. So, my goal for the week was to try everything at least once so I would have a good understanding of how to do it when I went home and tried to reproduce it. I was rotten at taking notes with my gloves on but I made a boatload of "samples".

We looked like mad scientists mixing and fussing with all this color and fabric. I didn't take enough friends pictures and the ones I did have others work in them so I can't post them. Class rules. The procedures were time-consuming but it was great fun unwrapping what we worked on.
All the samples I have shown above are done with Procion Mx dyes. More results tomorrow. Elin is a great teacher. If you have the opportunity to take a class from her, do not hesitate for one minute!
Wow! You were busy! I hope you guys had fun and aren't too tired from the adventure.
