Sun Dyed Scarves

Sun Dyeing, also known as heliographic printing, requires perfect weather conditions for success. I start by gathering leaves and flowers from my garden right before I go to work. The silk or cotton piece is then laid out in the sun and dyes are rapidly applied, to create an artistic blend of colours. The plants from earlier are then laid over the fresh dyes and completely dried in the sun. The botanicals create a mask pattern, where the dyes beneath cannot be activated by the UV rays of the sun, and thus do not fluoresce. This requires a perfectly cloudless day with no breeze, so you can imagine how few days these pieces can be produced here in Ontario! After drying, the scarves are washed and heat set to create a permanent product which may be washed without fear of shrinking or fading. Period.

Ice & Spray Dyed Scarves

A deep understanding of colour theory is needed to produce beautiful, one of a kind spray/ice dyed scarves. The fabric is prepared using chemicals to open up the fibres and allow deep penetration of the dyes. Then specific colours are misted onto the fabric in various patterns. This technique requires multi layers of dye using different colours and manipulating them together with gloved hands; colours begin to migrate together and overlap creating new colours. This technique is done over a 48 hours period. The finished art is then chemically set, washed and ironed for a permanent one of a kind scarf that will never shrink or fade.
