Optical illusion in textiles

Happy easterdays for those of you who celebrate this.
It's april and I thought it might be a good idea to get the dyepots out again and see if we can experiment with some new techniques.
What I would like to share with all of you is the process of this 3D textilepiece with a slight optical illusion like a paintsplash hitting the fabric:

 

It's always difficult to get some depth in a picture, so let's try it from this corner to give you an idea:

 
In the next few days, I will describe the process for making this project. Please gather your white fabric, procion MX dyes, some marbles, and a painter's canvas. Tomorrow the fun will start!
