A little bit of colour!














My order of long white mohair arrived today. Special requirement for a custom bear that the collector has requested I dye 'iolite blue'. Unfortunately it ended up a little more purple than blue... but we'll see how it turns out when its dry. Also dyed one of Miss Chelsea's white wonder-suits - which did go deep blue! And dip-dyed one of my white shirts. (and my hands are also a lovely shade of purple-blue now too!).
