There are two ways to color your fabric: Paint the dye on or dip the the fabric in a vat (bucket) of dye.
Today's post features painting on the dye.
Here is the waxed fabric before I start to paint.
I have started to paint with yellow paint that I will mix with some blue to create green.
Adding some green paint now to fill in the leaves.
Now I am painting the back ground with the bright blue paint.
Here is a close up of the finished piece of fabric. After drying for 24 hours I will rinse it out with hot water to remove the soy wax and excess dye.
The finished fabric.
