To dye or not to dye

I’m trying to decide whether they should be dyed or leave them au naturel.

I got the white wool from a friend that I haven’t met yet, but we communicate via email. She lives very close from me, so I’m planning to meet her sometime this year. The wool felts so nice.

I love color, but I must say that I think these bags are perfect just as they are 😉

I agree – much as I love colour, I’d leave them as they are. They don’t need to be dyed, they’re perfect anyway!

Being a dyer I always think that the next logic step is to finish the piece by adding color, that’s why I was having a hard time deciding what to do. They will stay with the natural color.

Patricia I think you should do some eco-dying that you learned with Irit on your light color! Beautiful! Stacy

I will do more Stacy. I just got a big bolt of wool and silk blend fabric that will need to be printed soon.

I would leave the brown, its gorgous as it is. The white looks like it is just begging for something nice needle felted on it. Something like the butterflies Katie Eberts paints. http://www.keberts.blogspot.com Maybe considering the colors it already is, a handfull of autumn leaves might go well with it. Just ideas.

Hard to decide! But the more I look at it, the more I like it just as it is.
