Supplies:
lightweight cotton muslin fabric (white)
Mordant (I used Soda Ash aka washing soda)
Fabric Dyes (I am using Dr. Ph Martin Radiance which can be used as fabric dies or watercolors) http://shrsl.com/?dkve
Stamps (ArtNeko) http://www.artneko.com/displayItem/A329-HSHT
Ink: Ranger Archival (if using another ink test it first on washed fabric) http://shrsl.com/?dkzd
Inktense pencils or blocks http://shrsl.com/?dkzc
Stiff brushes
Textile medium (optional)
Lumiere paint by Jaquard for accents (optional)
Directions:
1. Prewash fabric and trim to size, I used a 10" wide strip as it comes off the bolt.
2. Mix a tablespoon of soda ash with 2 cups of very hot water. Soak fabric in this mix and ring out the exces.
3. Protect your table with plastic bags and spread out your fabric.
4. Apply dies. Pick colors near each other on the color wheel to avoid mud.
5. Let dry and press the fabric with a hot iron.
6. Hem the raw edges (i didnot hem the short edges as they were the bound edges off the bolt of fabric)
7. Using firm pressure and a well inked stamp add images to the fabric. Heat set.
8. Color with inktense pencils or blocks.
9. Apply water to the images to liquify the inktense and add more pigment from the block if desired.
10. Spatter more inktense if desired.
11. Accent with fabric paint, let dry and press again with a hot iron to set.
