Thanks so much Tina. That little pink dress is so lovely. I never knew you could dye fabric using chalk paint. How awesome! I love Bebo’s crown too. Thanks for bringing your sweet little dress and Bebo, in all their glorious pinkness, for a visit… and thanks for joining the Pink Ladies.

If you don’t already know Tina you should pop over to her blog What We Keep and check it out. She’s classy and sassy, does gorgeous embroidery work, and takes amazing photographs… often reminding me that there is beauty to be seen in the unlikeliest of ways and places.
Thanks so much for reading, and until next time…. Think Pink!
Wow! That is so much more gorgeous now than when i sent it to you! I can see that dying the fabric would help strengthen it. I wondered if you would do some embroidery on them…glad to see you did! I think we all could use a cotton candy crown. Perfect pinkness for a Monday morning and you are more than welcome!
Thanks, Danni! I am in love with it! And I agree….we should have cotton candy crowns!
Bebo must be a very manly bear because he wears that crown like a true prince. I am in love with the dress. As much as I have dyed stuff, I have never used a watered down paint. Are you sure it will not come off in the washer and dryer? The dress is beautiful and Bebo should keep his crown. Welcome to the Pink Ladies!
The chalk paint doesn't come off, I promise. I have done it several times- even with Aubusson Blue.
That's why ASCP is magic. 🙂
Thanks for the welcome!
What a fantastic idea! Paint for fabric dye. LOVE your projects Tina! A great pink post!
Thank you, Karen!
Thanks for my Pink Lady status, Tuula! Glad to be a part of this bunch of nuts! 😉
And we're tickled pink to have you Tina!
I've never seen a bear with a tiara before, but it sure looks cute in it's frame….and dress.
Thanks, Bliss.:)
Tina,
OMGosh ok I really want to say holy crap … You totally blow me away with your embroidery (gorgeous) and your creative mind. Always impressed and yes, me too love pink! How cute the dress is and the crown – amazing!
Happy pink Monday,
xo,
Vera
Thank you, Vera!
This was a really fun project. 🙂
I've never used paint to dye anything. It looks great. Love the soft shade of pink…so pretty on that sweet little dress! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Vicky. The chalk paint leaves behind wonderful pigment that adheres to the fabric.
Tina, Bebo may not be a girl but he is a soft-hearted man and that is the best kind. What an idea for making dye. Looks so pretty in pink..Happy Monday..Judy
You're right, Judy…soft hearted men are the best. 🙂
Very sweet and creative Tina. Love Bebo and his crown. Real men or boy bears wear pink!!! So cute.
Kris
Thank you, Kris. He is stuck with his crown until I make him a blue one. 😉
i had no idea you could dye with the chalkpaint…so clever, tina! your vintage dress is a cute find and bebo, well, he may never be the same–haha! tfs!
Bebo has decided that he likes being pink. 😉 Thanks, Lynn!
Oh that is gorgeous! dying with Chalk paint, very clever!
Thanks, Mel! It's handy stuff, that's for sure. 🙂
The wonders of chalk paint – your dress is adorable! Welcome to the Pink Ladies!
Thank you, Gail. 🙂
Chalk paint?! That is the most gorgeous shade of pink and the little dress looks like it's always been that color. Sweet, sweet, sweet!!! Love the cotton candy crown, too!!
It is a perfect shade of pink- thanks for coming by Vickie. Hey, maybe your sock monkies need crowns? 😉
LOVE Bebo and his crown, too!! Well done, Tina 🙂
