Using Resists during Dyeing

Look what happened when I stacked brass circles between folded fabric and sandwiched it between plexiglass. The rubber bands held the stack together while I squirted yellow, red and purple dye between the plexiglass plates. 


This is what it looked like when I opened the bundle.


Sky blue was used to over dye the whole piece. It certainly is a unique piece of fabric. It was an interesting experiment and worth exploring more. Next time I'll use a fat quarter instead.


My daughter dyed this shirt using wooden clothespins for the resist. I really like the way she placed the pattern on the diagonal.


Don't the clothespins make a great pattern?
