Learn how I blend colors on wrinkeld fabric
In Part 1 of this series, I’ll show you a quick approach to color blending with amazing results. At the same time I’ll review the most important facts about being sure the dye is fixed in the fabric. We are using a liquid mix and pouring it directly onto wrinkled fabric that already has the soda ash, (the fixative) on it. You can determine how the colors flow on the fabric by how much you move the wrinkles and spread the colors with your gloves.
On the Youtube link,I have provided links to updated handouts on my web site and my book that have all the information you need. You can also find them on my website in “Dye Resources“
