Finally got around to dyeing my sample piece I showed in an earlier post.
Here's some pictures from the process
 |
My setup in the laundry |
 |
Using a brush to apply the first layer of dye |
 |
Getting darker after a second application of dye |
 |
the back, you can see the dye starting to crisply fill in the spaces between the resist paste |
 |
Applying a (nasty) chemical to the front side of the piece to fix the dye to the fabric |
 |
All wrapped up in plastic & airtight to let the chemical do its thing for 2 hours |
 |
TaDa! |
The dyes came out a bit brighter than I would have liked but hey, that's why you do samples!
