Day 31: Heat Setting, Dying and Bleaching






(11 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

Today at PLA I started off the day heat setting heat setting the two 25x25 squares that I dyed yesterday.  After heat setting the mock fabric it was time to cut out 4 white 25x25 squares and 2 black squares.  We first dyed two of the white squares that we just cut out, we had to wait about 40 minutes to make sure they dyed all the way.  Will I waited I did some research oh how to sculpt a felt hat and of course watching my favorite anime "Dragon Ball Z".

When time was up it was time to take the squares out and hang them to dry. After that it was time to bleach the black squares and I was super excited to see how Shannon did that. Shannon and I each had on square to bleach, I had to wear gloves because Shannon didn't want me to get it on my hands. I bleached my black square on the sides while Shannon bleached hers on the tips. Shannon didn't like how hers came out but I loved mine so I kept mine.

Next week will be my last week as an intern at PLA and I am sad. I told Shannon that I will visit and that we will keep in touch.  I won't talk about that now, I will wait until next Friday.
