Lately I have been trying to experiment more with textile design and consequently ended up with some dye to mess around with. After revisiting my tie dying days at primary school I decided that perhaps I am not the tie dying type. Next I decided to spray the dye onto the fabric. SUCCESS! Spraying the dye on to chiffon resulted in some interesting effects. The dye ran a little and made some star like shapes. I draped the material on my dress making doll and ended up with this strange little top. This is only the beginning of my dyeing adventures. So watch this space as I will be posting some tutorials!

And yes, these are photos of me frolicking amongst the trees in the German country side. Even though Berlin is a fairly green city, I do miss the greenery and peacefulness of rural areas (hence the photos of me running around). These last 4 images were taken with Michael's folding camera. He picked up this little treasure at the Vienna markets last year. I like the unpredictability and vintage feeling of the camera. It's always a surprise when we have the images developed.
