I finally got around to dying the hickory shirt. I'm thinking I should have ordered a brighter pink than "Bubblegum" as it doesn't look very pink. It is more of a violet color. I couldn't get it to photograph well, but here is the first attempt at this. A friend, who has more experience in dying fabrics was called away unexpectedly so I was on my own. There will be other attempts later on. I think I'll try it on a lighter weight shirt next time.

One of the knot bumpers jumped up on my wrapper box to brand some logs and didn't see the can of spray paint nestled amongst the rigging. He was wearing brand new caulks, the redwood length...very sharp. I was standing downwind. I have an orange splotched shirt and he has one boot that glows in the dark. We call him Picasso now.
