trouble maker and shadow dye fabric

a good friend of mine, for reasons i had rather keep to myself, has nicknamed me "troublemaker" and now she has nicknamed pam 'the shadow". i have been dying fabric for awhile and now "the shadow" is in on the fun. we have decided to do some workshops dying fabric and whatever else tickles our fancy. we are by no means professional but we sure have loads of fun learning as we go. i am not afraid to make a mistake in front of people who think i know what i am doing. the following is some pics or our process. i am not a photographer. oh yeah, my grandson, koty worked on his 4th of july t-shirt.



i am using ann johnston's book "color by accident" for the basic recipes and tweeking them along the way. the first is bound with rubber bands, dyed, unbound, rebound, and another color added.
