I've got some gutta resist lying around somewhere but have never been brave enough to use it. In hippie times we used to use crayolas as resists when we tye dyed. I'm thinking a white crayola might work well on white silk. hmmm.
I buy everything from Dharma and have always liked their variety of products, reasonable prices and their speedy service. I use their Procion Fiber Reactive dyes, which are very simple to mix, they go a long way, and they have great colors. I stick to simple patterns like clouds, geometric tye dye designs, gradients and rainbows. I've been itching to try something new and more complex though.
Here's a couple of my veils. I don't know who these girls are...but I DO know that those are my veils.
