Painted & Dyed

The pieces of fabric look lovely Denise.....The paint must act as a resist, so does the dye settle in areas not painted?

Yes, it does Cynthia and also can get underneath the colors a bit because I scratch, rub, manipulate and mangle the painted cloth (on purpose).

oh, I LOVE the look of it. I wish I could touch it. I love using that technique in painting - scratching, rubbing, sanding, etc.
