A BIRTHDAY GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

Wanting to over dye this already eco-dyed pillowcase 

and hoping for more color and oomph!

So I took the beautiful sunflower birthday bouquet my daughter Dani gave me...

layed it out on half of the pillowcase...

folded the case over and laid out another birthday bouquet from myself  LOL...

then bundled the whole package up over a copper pipe,

and wrapped  it with already used dyed string from another project.

The results were amazing!!

A close up of the wrapped string area below.

The small pieces of leaves and petals under the string leave such delicate resists.

Here is the front side of the pillowcase from Dani's sunny bouquet,

and a close-up below.

Notice how well the Eucalyptus leaves printed,

my favorite area.

What a beautiful way to save a special memory.
