Ok so as promised here's the tie dying tutorial! First you will need: Dye Salt Water Bowl Fabric Elastic bands Rubber Gloves And something to protect you floor Follow the instructions on the back of the dye packet as depending on what dye you get they all slightly differ. Always love the colours that come out of the dye. This will turn grey/black! While your water is absorbing the dye wash your fabrics and give them a good scrub to make sure the dye takes to them as best as possible. Once your fabrics are washed, using the gloves put your hand into the dye and give it a stir, feel the bottom to make sure the dye and salt have been disolved into the water, if the bottom feels grainy keep stirring until it disappears. Its important you test the dye first on little bits of fabric to make sure it comes out the colour it you want it! You can add more dye or more water depending whether you want the colour darker/deeper or lighter/fainter. While your fabric test is going on ...

I'm shattered, worn out with hurting feet and an aching back, my hands are sore from the amount of times I've washed them to remove paint... but strangely I feel good... yes I'm officially weird! Or perhaps its because I actually now know I'm getting somewhere with my work and it all feels like its coming together :) Sorry for the delay of this post its a few hours late, because of this... All my ebay orders - had to package up 19 things! Driven me a little bit crazy but hey its money, which means more funds for luxurious fabrics... oh and clothes ;) hehe Apologies for the poorly blurred out addresses, didn't think it'd be appropriate to put them out on my blog. Anyway (as I always seem to say...) here's how my printing went today, hope you like them! Love this - really beginning to like this print, thinking if I scale it down may make a nice coat lining... we shall see! Taping up the screen to make sure no nasty unwanted ink/pigment gets through to...
