I've done it again! Gradation on two bamboo natis...

Oh, I love dyeing bamboo natis... these are fab wraps to work with and I love seeing the transformation afterwards :)

May I introduce... Spring (Easter) Nati and Minty/sweet Nati gradations :)

My little man is officialy a 2 years old toddler

I cannot believe that my precious little boy turned two last week on 5 April. We had a big family celebration at home, I cooked a 2 course lunch (with a little bit of help from my mum), it was a lovely day spent with uncles, aunties, grandma Gabi, grandma Mila and grandpa Janusz and cousins: Zuza and Igor. Orlando loved his cake (which I baked for him) and at the end of the busy day was very exhausted :)

Oh... such a sublte girasol

I have received this 'naked' girasol from a very kind mama! Since I love orchids... a new orchid emerged from a long evening in my dye tub.... an orchid girasol :)

Cocoa-azure linen didy

Let me tell you a little story behind this project... We have been thinking about our forthcoming holidays... and then decided to book a 2 weeks holiday in sunny Corfu, a very lush and green Greek island on the Ionian Sea.... The day we paid for our flight, I had a go at this gradation project... Here is a cup of warm cocoa..and the clear waters of the Ionian Sea :)

This wrap has a new home now, a lovely babywearing mama from 'over the big pond' received this linen last week and I am pleased to say that she has already fallen in love with it. You can see how lovely both mama and her cutie baby look in this indio if you click on the link below:

Pink/greey linen indio...

This is such a happy go lucky wrap :) Candy pink combined with a coold grey, perfect for a little princess... the cutest baby girl ever :)

I have dyed this wrap for a friend of mine, I am so pleased that they like their new fluffy...

Thinking of a peach sorbet... my first ever silk gradation

I must admit that I was a bit nervous before embarking on this 'silk gradation' journey...I had tried to do a lot of research on various silk dyeing techniques and in the end decided to use acid dyes and fairly hot water (so to achieve a contrast between silk and cotton threads).

This is so far my favourite gradation, I am so pleased that this silk indio has retained its silky feel and it is a joy to wrap with. This one will become a legacy wrap...

Here is a fun photo of a cute mama and her precious little boy.

My sunny hemp

In the midst of horrible, wintery weather I was longing for a summer sun...Here is my sunny hemp gradation, I shall keep this wrap for teh next baby...crazy idea, because I am not even pg yet... but this is my fav hemp so far :)
