it started out as b/w

A friend of mine knows that I love b/w fabrics and send me a piece of this:
There was a lot of fabric, so I cut it up into several pieces. About half a yard remained white. The 3 other pieces I dyed. One using only turquoise dye. For the other 2 I used alpine blue and basic blue, both colors on a piece so that it looked like this:
A nice mixture, but I wanted to add more blues to it and picked a selection of paint. Textile paint and acrylic, in total 5 different colors. As stamp I used a piece of insulation tube. The result is:
On purpose I sticked to blue colors, as I want to use some of this fabric in the water of the canal houses project
