This piece was mono printed using a long piece of vinyl. I applied the fabric dye to the vinyl with a paint brush in a wave shape and then flipped the plastic over onto the cloth.
It has warm and cool yellows, warm and cool reds and rust orange.
This piece was made using a paper lamination screen. I painted newsprint with golden fluid acrylics and after that dried I pinned a sheer over top of the paper and applied my image to the mesh and paper using mat medium. Once this dried the color was attached permanently to the mesh. I scrubbed all the paper off and I was left with the image on the mesh that I in turn used as a screen. I scraped fabric dye through it in multiple layers. I have a lot more experimenting I want to do with this screen.
This is a piece of left over fabric that I was just using up the left over bits of fabric dye on. Not quite a clean up rag but almost. It is a long narrow piece of cloth two yards long and about 15" wide. I have found a bunch of previously dyed fabrics that match in my hand-dyed bin so I will cut this up to mix and match with other fabrics for a pieced top.
This piece I started a year ago. the marks are made by drawing on a screen with soy wax. Once it dried you can screen print with it and the dyes go where the soy wax isn't- i.e. the negative space. It has been sitting around for a year all soda soaked and ready to go but I never went back to it. I added more yellow in the middle and then screened over the whole thing with a royal blue. The squiggles now go in at least four directions now.
