Happy Dyeing

 This is the unique look we can get when we stitch and dye a T-shirt or other cotton fabric. I will try and get a diagram for stitching onto the blog later on.

 This is thickened dye painted on cotton.  Bring brushes and I will bring the rest of the materials we'll need.  I have prepared the cotton with a Soda Ash soak and it is ready to go.  I'll mix the dyes next week so they will be fresh.  I have two designs this bird and some flowers and butterflies if you want to do a guided painting or bring your own ideas if that is the direction you would rather go.  Either way is good.
Here is an example of very loose painting with a combination of liquid dye and thickened dye on silk.
