when i have a moment





I will be dyeing some silk that will be very simple in color..they are not really solid color because solid would imply a very even finish..these will have a gentle blending of color but they will not be like the previous 'swirls' or meltdowns i've done in the past. they will be well blended so the boundaries between colors won't be as apparent.

The top two photos are examples of the newer type of blended color pattern, notice how the colors that mix are not as visible. The next photos show examples of the older swirls that have distinct boundaries and mixes of color. Of course both will still be available. I'm hoping these appeal to dancers who prefer a more simple, monochrome but not perfectly solid color veil. For solid color veils I still think your best bet is to shop at your local fabric store.





Will be dyeing them in the popular colors that most of us buy our costumes in: red, pink , fuschia, burgundy, silver, gold/sunflower, copper, chocolate, purple, green, teal, blue, turquoise, etc and probably a handful in pastels like peach, lilac, mint. Of course there will be some nude color ones. So check back and if you are in need of a simpler more monochrome style rectangle, email at akaisilksinfo@yahoo.com
