Guess what, it’s Monday, so I have more photos from fabric club…
I’m never going to need my Opera House T-shirt again, right? Well, I better not, since it’s not going to be this plain sky blue any more.
I’m doing Shibori, so I have to stitch the shirt up and pull the threads tight… Later on, I realised that it’s not tight enough, but by then it was too late…
When I get to the art centre, I had to put the shirt in a Naphtol bath, and the shirt turned green. Most other people had white fabric and theirs turned yellow, and I was lucky that I didn’t ruin the Naphtol bath with my coloured shirt…
With Naphtol dye, you have to put the Diazo salts on the fabric that’s soaked with Naphtol for the colour to appear, and the Diazo salts look really weird; they don’t look anything like the colours that they’re supposed to give…
Look how my T-shirt turned out!
