so Todays word is OATMEAL....ya thats right the breakfast favorite is now a cool dyeing accesory!

these are napkins that we got from Dharma...as you can see you just spread the oatmeal out on the fabric...and let dry in the sun...caution: may attract flies....might not want to use butter and brown sugar on this oatmeal!!

This was a kind of try and see technique in this particular phase we took dye sprayed it on and then Cousin Marge and her lovely yellow gloves did a bit of arranging of the oats! 



as you can see its lots of icky dirty breakfast fun!
after all the manipulating of the oats we let them all sit and cure
then we hung them to dry in the sun before rinsing out and machine washing
for fun I figured what the heck ....lets try it with a shirt

after applying the oatmeal allover the shirt I took it and sprayed it with a couple different colors of dye and then let the whole thing dry in the sun....what an icky mess!

actually the shirt came out kinda cool after all....imagine that!!....all from a bowl of oatmeal!
