I have decided to dye my own fabric, in order to achieve the right colours for my pieces. I only want to dye my fabric black and blue, so I have studied this photo that I took when conducting the initial research for my project in order to see what kinds of tones are visible. I am planning on recreating the dark grey, dark blue and slightly lighter blue to use as the colours in my final outcome because I feel that the lighter blues from the moon, and the browns from the light pollution will make my piece too confusing.
I will be using reactive dyes on cotton fabric and I understand that if I choose a sheer fabric and dye it black, then the fabric will become denser in appearance. This is something I will need to take into consideration when choosing my fabric.
