For my final project for 468-R Dyes,
Paint, and Fabric Manipulation, I decided to dye a large sheet. I used tie-dye,
accident dye, batik, and paint on the sheet.
First, I washed it.
Then I pleated it in preparation for
tie-dyeing.
Then I ironed it.
Then I folded it up
And put rubber bands on it.
Then crunched it up.
Then I made a vat of boiling water.
To which I added salt.
The dye I used:
Then I pasted out the dye.
Then I added it to the vat of boiling
brine.
Then I put my fabric and in to soak for
15 minutes.
Then I pulled out the fabric.
In the meantime, I made up some accident
dye.
I added the dye to a little hot water to
paste it out.
Then I added a little vinegar.
This is the result of the tie-dyeing after it was dyed, washed and dried.
I then took batik wax and painted it on
top of the fabric.
While it dried, I moved on to the
painting part.
And I made a crazy clock with 18 hours.
Then, I dropped and painted the orange
accident dye on top of the batik wax.
When that was done, I painted more
designs on the edges.
Then I ironed the sheet to set the dyes
and paints. Then I washed and dried it. Voila! A dyed sheet!
