This will add definition and perspective. Now, with the last blue dye, pour a little
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
onto a plastic plate. Apply a little dye to the roller and roll over the fabric. Don't
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
worry if the dye comes off the roller in an uneven fashion ... it all adds to the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
character of the piece. Take the sea sponge next, wet it in a little water and use a
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
small amount of the dye left on the plate. Don't put too much dye on the sponge, or
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
it will give big blobs again with no definition. Fill in the spaces as you see fit. Fold
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the plastic over the painted piece of fabric and then fold it up into a smaller, more
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
manageable piece. Place in a warm spot such as outdoors in the sun, or in the car to
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
provide the heat necessary for dye fixation. After a period of no less than 4 hours, or
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
up to a few days, you can rinse the fabric in cold water, wash in hot with synthropol
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
SP or your normal washing powder and rinse again in cold until the water runs clear.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Try a few of these painted pieces at one time with different colours and different
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
applicator tools to see what different effects that you can achieve. Have fun and
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
keep records, just in case you want to do that special piece again. Use any left over
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
dye in a tray dye.
