Dyeing & Embroidering

ABSTRACT
| Starting by dyeing fabric with tea bags this work came as an experimentation process of some rudimentary manufacture skills.
| The fabric acquired a much darker yellow color than it had before, in a process that can be described as aging.
| Vivid colors were chosen to embroider decoratively creating a parallel between old and new.
