I know some of you have seen this before in your very own refrigerators, but I had not experienced such a site! Yegads!!! I photographed it for your viewing pleasure only and then disposed of it immediately.
Here are my pieces as I worked on them.....they were just beginning to react and hadn't been ironed or washed...........you'll see those photos when I next blog.
This is a piece of hand dye that I used to hate, so I was excited to attack it with the discharge paste. However, when I looked at it again, I was having trouble following through. Somehow, like an animal at the pound, it was crying out to be to saved as is (or in this case, as was):
I thought I'd try painting the paste on my favorite Christmas Ferns and then brayering them onto the fabric. Then I got out one of my syringes and did a bit of squiggling around with it. I also added some brayered and discharged oak leaves. Here it is while drying on the lawn:
Next (which actually was last, but we'll call it next here) was my black Dharma tee from the other day. I discharged with more of the big-bubble bubble wrap, and added a bit of gold disperse dye to it (actually it was already on the bubble wrap). The gold showed up immediately and I was in love!!!
I'm not exactly sure about this piece, but it was reacting quickly:
One of my all-time faves: bubble wrap on a blue hand dye...........it was turning purple under the discharge paste:
Another favorite. This one is a piece of sponge dipped in both discharge paste and silver fabric paint.
So, stay tuned for my next post, so we can all view the results!!!
PEACE
