Pigment Painting

Earth pigments and black gutta on silk crepe de chine fabric.

Mold

This is what happens when one does not use heat in the 30 day dye bath, I need to get the temp up to 78F, which is still cold, but warm enough to prevent mold formation. 

I will be adding fish tank heater tomorrow to the dye vat, AFTER I skim off the mold.
