colorful weekend

My weekend was filled with dye powder, soda ash and syringes as I created these 3 18-steps color wheels. One is in light, one is in medium and one is in dark values. I used Tangerine, Mixing Red and Mixing  Blue. Okay, I admit it has been some time ago since I dyed regular color wheels but with these 3 I should be okay for a very long time :-).

color wheel + cast paper

Yesterday I made some samples of cast paper. A technique I have never used before. Here you can see some of them:

I used a tile and some texture plates I had for paintstiks to achieve the texture I wanted. What I will be doing with them I'll show you in a couple of days.

Also I dyed a rainbow color wheel. For this wheel I used 1 teaspoon of dye powder per cup of water. The colors I used were lime green, cotton candy and blue wisteria. The last one was actually too weak to compete with the other ones. Each fabric is a fat quarter and for the moment they are going into my stash.
