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!
