In which Jackie discovers disperse dyes




...or dyes that work on synthetics. Polyesters. Simpler to do than expected.





Above using a technique similar to printmaking, with dried plants as resists.


My class was with Holly Brackmann. http://www.hollybrackmann.com/. Loved it so much I had to get her book too.










This one using folds/pleats as resists

And thickened dyes with stamps.
