Sian Martin's two-day workshop was called "Design, Divide, and Decorate". First we did some dyeing, using procion dyes and plastic bags - no need to wet silk, and the colours came out intense if the dye was left to cure for a few hours.
Sian had brought along some scraps -- now this is what I call scraps, less than 1/2" wide! Later we tore up some of our dyed fabric into similar strips.
The "divide" part of the workshop was on using fibonacci series and the golden section. We practised with plain paper first. Then the decorating started -- on the 9 copies of a picture of a flower we each brought, not knowing how it was to be used.
