It's actually a ton of fun and I'm lucky to be able to do this for a living. It does take time, but all good things do! They're fiber reactive dyes from a company called Dharma Trading Co, out of San Rafael, CA. Anyone can use them, but can anyone do this with dye and wax and fabric? I have yet to see! Lol! It's true though. Thank you for the compliments and your friendly welcome.
