Please post in the comments how you think I created this fabric. I will reveal the technique in the blogpost for coming Monday. In that blogpost I will also draw the winner of our e-book Playing with Fire.

A TECHNIQUE DRIVEN Blog dedicated to mastery of surface design techniques. First we dye, overdye, paint, stitch, resist, tie, fold, silk screen, stamp, thermofax, batik, bejewel, stretch, shrink, sprinkle, Smooch, fuse, slice, dice, AND then we set it on fire using a variety of heat tools.
What fun! Multiple layers of stamping on ice-dyed fabric.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the orange dye was added with wax resist to the dark original fabric, then circles painted on.
ReplyDeleteScrunched orange dyed fabric with several (5-6?) layers of paint, striped roller and print of torn paper (strips and circles). Fun piece to study.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing painted fabric and layers of stencils all using the gelli plate. Very fun result.

ReplyDeleteoriginal (background) fabric is the dark colour; covered with torn strips of tape to preserve the dark lines; gelli plate printed with opaque orange and yellow brayer-rolled paint (but the plate wasn't completely covered with the paint and it was thicker in some parts than others); then stamped with pink and black circles
