Carol E. had filled a spray bottle with the soda ash mixture that we had soaked our fabric in. Then we started spraying. Jet streams or sprays move the dye around on the surface. One can also wipe it, smooth it around, with your rubber gloved hands.<br /><br />After spraying the first time, I reversed the fabric, hanging it 'upside down' and repeated. <br /><br />Oh, and I also took another piece of treated fabric and blotted it flat over the entire surface and created another very interesting piece which picked up rather random 'dry' dye that one would not have expected.Diane Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080781013677175472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146907734769715840.post-40885978130606648732012-08-05T12:13:54.886-07:002012-08-05T12:13:54.886-07:00Great pieces!
