Dye Supply

Easterdye2

It’s cheap, it’s quick, it’s easy.  Get some while on clearance – egg dye.  Every Easter I have tags, strings, paper swatches, and even coffee filters on stand-by to soak up the leftover dye.  I can’t resist experimenting with the vibrant colors….even though it is not my comfort zone when it comes to this palette.  It’s the only time of year you’ll see me use these.  On the 2002 journal page you’ll see I dropped the dyed bits into plastic pockets, laid over coffee filters.  The metal rimmed white tags are the best – use bunches of them dangling on a package, makes a great impression….especially if you spray paint the wrapping paper 🙂

    OMG what a grand idea! I LOVE your egg dye tags, strings, papers, etc . . . I am going right out to see if any egg dye is left here in Scottsdale, AZ!

    Thanks Michelle, I am jacked that I won! An exciting day it was for me! OMIGOSH, I LOVE the egg dye! Wish I would have seen this while I was in town! Urgh, hopefully the stores will still have the dye on Friday! These colors are totally out of my color pallet also but when YOU put these all together, they are gorgeous! I especially love the tags and the strings, very, very cool! I would love to use these in a book…..can you just see them dangling outside the pages? GORGEOUS! You have THE most clever mind!
