The class was about using a variety of stitching and wrapping patterns, loosely based on the technique of Shibori Stitching, and painting the pieces with Dye-Na Flo paint.
Here are a few samples of the students' work.
Everyone had a great time and the results were spectacular.
I had them all pour any leftover paints into a quart jar, which I took home. It looked like a muddy
mess of a color.
Just to see what would happen, I painted a canvas tote bag with the mixed up paint and left it out to dry in the sun.
The colors separated out into a very interesting pattern. I love the new tote and have a new idea for mixing paints together before applying them to fabric.
I bought the paints from Dharma Trading. Here's the link for anyone who is interested in exploring with them.
