Well enough of that, this is what I have been doing lately. It is supposed to look life fire, what do you think??
I have already painted this, but with the fabric dye that I use, it goes 'off' after a while. But I had quite a bit of paint left over from last time I did the other painting and I thought, I cannot throw out all this paint, dye is expensive and I also have to buy these chemicals and mix and measure to get the dye to paint texture. So I kept it and used it and silly me:) When I rinsed out the gorgeous design, the dye just ran off and the fabric is no longer pure white but has a reddish hue to it. I am hoping it still looks okay.
So now I am painting over it and have run out of dye paint. So now I need to mix up some sodium alginate with urea to make the gloop that I then add the dye powder to. What a pain. So I have done a lot of research and found some dye paint that I can actually afford. Some fabric paint is $12 for 100ml!! Insane. I found some that is $13 for 1 litre, cool.
But right now I need to make up the sodium alginate.
This cyclone that is coming is really scary! I am glued to the tv waiting to see what the cyclone is doing.
