In Material Musings I share several projects that use combination of wax resist dyeing, clay baths, and tea solutions! The results were gorgeous and I show some of the designs that are my favorite. There are endless possibilities when you take the time to experiment with your supplies.
Here are some suggestions for using your wax resist creations:
- Wall Hangings - I hope to use some of the larger fabric pieces as wall hangings, adding to their backing and maybe adding some beading or other embellishments.
- Quilting - You could incorporate the wax resist dyed fabric as part of the fabric for your quilt
- Make one-of-a-kind clothes using your dyed fabric.
- Collage - Layering, using different dyed pieces to create a fabric collage. You could add additional elements such as paints, paper, or found objects.
- Slow Stitching - This is such a peaceful activity. You could use your wax resist dyed fabric as a base or cut out shapes and stitch them onto the chosen fabric
I worked on the woven piece and will take a break from it while I think about the next steps, and maybe add beading and other embellishments.
Fabric Fragments - I am putting together a series of fabric bags that showcase a mix of wax resist, avocado-dyed, and hand-painted fabrics. In another accompanying bag, I have placed a selection of printed fabrics The bag holds a special stitched art piece, making it a collector's item.
Keep an eye out! These fragment bags will soon be available for purchase on my course platform HERE. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this artistic adventure!
