Well, sorta tie dye, sorta a bit of shibori. So, two 'ish' pieces. I began by folding and tying with rubber bands.
No. 33 was done in the traditional way using slightly damp fabric in a plastic bag and pouring the dye mixture onto the fabric, then adding fixative later. I like the definite pattern here.
No. 34 was done as an ice dye with the fabric soaking in soda ash mixture before folding. I used Pro Chem's mixing red. I really like the texture of this piece. Curious how differently they turned out.
My next exercise is to use Decolourant to discharge some color from two pieces that I dyed some time ago, but do not like them. Thanks for visiting. Karen
