Cranberry Juice CHUB Pack


Home in Oakland for the holidays, and working on a couple projects to stay warm. I brought my cauldron full of fabric all the way from LA so I could continue to experiment with natural dyeing and get going on the GRUB line. 

My new temporary workspace with a nice view of the estuary.


1 gallon Cranberry Juice (CVS brand) + Alum as a mordant (to make the dye bite to the fiber) 

1 silk shirt, 1 textured cotton sweater, 1.5 yards of canvas went into the dyebath



with the canvas I made prototype #2 of a design I've been working on for a 
plump little backpack with fur trim now to be referred to as CHUB PACKS



























Happy Holidays
