Using the rinse water from milk containers going into the recycle bin collected over the past 2wks and stored in the freezer, I'm soaking some cotton T-shirts ready for some dyeing. The driftwood pulp gives excellent colour so I'm planning to do some shibori techniques with it on the shirts. First they will have to cure for a few days tho.
I can hear my pal (u know who u r) in my head now yelling at me to 'stop mucking about' with old T-shirts and work on protein fibres but.... These have just a few stains and the 'waste not-want not' monster is telling me they're too good to throw away and not good enough for the charity bin. Sorry :) x
While I'm down here I plan on taking an Eco-cruise round the Tasman Islands. Very excited about that one, even get to wear survival suit :) Should be thrilling. See one of their promo pics below.
Plans are afoot for this pile of driftwood and a collection of old rope combed from around the bay too...
