Rainbow Shibori Style

This is a Shibori piece that I did awhile back.

 Look under the Techniques tab to see how

I did this.

Cotton Sateen

I have been dyeing cotton sateen

with both  Pebeo Setacolor paint

and Dylon Dyes. Separately -

I really am happy with the results.

So, I decided to try an experiment -

I dyed the sateen first and purposely

left some white space - wash, dried,

and ironed. I used "Intense Violet"

Then - and this is the test - I painted

on  setacolor "Lemon Yellow".

The purpose of this test was to see 

if the paint covered or over shadowed

the dye or just covered the white space.

I'm sad to said that it covered the dye and

made the Intense Violet look faded.

You can see the results
