Here are some images from the Shrivel Up and Dye workshop last weekend. I love this technique where we layer lots of different silk, cotton and linen fabrics onto artic ice-wool fleece and first stitch them into place using lots of different stitches and then shrivel them by washing at a high temperature and then dyed with procion dyes.

| Irene Ralph using her favourite copper colours. Note the gorgeous rich colour of the silk velvet. |
 |
| Kate Arkle - not quite the burgundy colour she wanted but this bright pink piece looks great. The silk organza at least was burgundy! |
 |
| Sarah Barrowclough working in greens - note how the wool felt picked up the acid yellow on the dye and lovely washers covered in cotton thread dyed with the fabric |
 |
| Val Harrowven's lovely piece dyed with a magenta and turquoise mix which gives a great range of colours |
