On Wednesday Carol showed us monoprints from two different surfaces.

Then she spread dye onto the hard plastic-topped table – a large surface for a bigger piece of fabric.

More thickened dye was spread, then patterns were made in it with a stamp, left, and a sea sponge, right.

Here’s the cloth being spread onto the dye-painted surface. Only problem – I never took a picture of the finished fabric!
