Dyeing Ribbons, Clipping Dogs

Don't be shocked! I know it has only been a little over one week since my last post. Ok, go ahead be shocked!! Short update today. I am just trying to do better about these posts. Today I gave Ceasar and Sissy haircuts, which always takes some creative effort, so I thought they deserved to be mentioned.

After that, I dyed some silk ribbon for embroidery. This was a new process for me. I have been playing around using Letreset Promarkers and Prismacolor markers, and that certainly has its place. I will continue to do that. Today I also used Ritt Dye for the first time. Also love that effect.

Dyeing the ribbon is more cost effective than trying to purchase every color in ribbon. But I also like to make a more variegated look. Wasn't abel to get the green I was looking for with the Ritt Dye, but that may just take some trial and error. Here's the finished bobbins of ribbon.

And here's a Tangle for you.
