What it was supposed to be...

These are the colors I chose. What came out of my dye printer is what is shown below. So, a happy accident since this one looks a bit garish. Make that quite a bit garish. Unfortunately, this dye printer is not printing off any of my palettes correctly, even the ones that don't look like a pizza thrown under a bus. This printer won't even print magenta or black. It's getting difficult.

Again, trouble getting things to line up, but I did much better this time. I think I will fold it in half and make a scarf out of it. The happy mistake about all this is that this isn't at all what it's supposed to look like color wise. I'm beginning to hate my dye printer. I have been working on it all weekend and its only getting worse about printing even a test print. I'm almost getting blank pages! Sigh. Any tips out there? Anyone?

It's awful hard to line up stripes with a pattern in them. Ultimately this was a failure due to my misalignment of the stripes. Maybe I can use parts of it later.

Push through with paper technique again, this time with blue brocade printed paper. It's a little hard to see in this one...

It's a little easier to see the brocade details here

I think I like this slit and pull through method. Here I recycled some printed dye sheets from another project, slit one and then layered them to get this effect. What do you think of if?

This is the reverse side of the test image for the purple swirl. Let me know if you like this one better or the one below it. (the front side) Thanks!
