I like the visual textures I get by sprinkling salt on dye. I have a small piece about 12"x 12" that is red violet and blue violet, with a waterfall pattern created by sprinkling table salt on the wet piece. It's gorgeous and I keep thinking I'll use it in a fabric collage sometime, but I haven't come up with the right project yet. I also have a snake done in greens, blues and violet with just the smallest bit of yellow for warmth that is to be part of an appliqued picture. On the veils, the salt adds some interesting pattern to what would otherwise be a solid color fabric.
