Teacher PlusHi Zey!
Quite interesting results ... Is it you first time with natural dyes?
You made a mix experiencing different ways of mordanting, dyeing and changing PH to obtain colours!
Next time try to see how it will look with 3D results!
Loved it! It also can inspire other students..

PlusHello Tatiana, thank you for your comment. I’ve been exploring natural dyeing for quite a while, and your course has been incredibly helpful. I haven’t tried working on 3D projects yet, but I’m excited to give it a try. Thank you again!
