We also use the soda ash for the color can stay in the fabric.

Fabric dyeing project 1: exploring fabric dyeing

O. The first technique we learn was dyeing, the second technique we learn was folding, and the last technique we learn was to batik.

O. At first when you see how fabric dyeing is done you think we are going to get all dirty. when you first move the material to make the color you need to covered your mouth and nose because there are some toxic materials. after moving the materials to make the material or to give the color for the fabric dyeing you put the fabric in were ever you have do color and then wait for 20 minutes. if your fabric has wax on you wait 15 minutes till the color gets on the fabric.

O. This technique could be use to make different kinds of art because there are different artist that do art with different kind of things. they use paint, pencil, and paper but with the dyeing technique you can make any thing with it but the thing that is different about fabric dyeing is that you can paint your own fabric or your shirts real fast not like paint if you use paint it would take more than one hour. I dye 2 fabric in 25 minutes.

stamping symbols- tied adire

 Stamping Symbols is like telling a story but in symbols. I also know that is hard sometimes to make the stamping symbol because you have to cut it very carefully.I enjoy the making of the stamping. I enjoy making the story about one part of my life in a paper. I dint enjoy the painting of the stamping symbol. I dint enjoy making my symbols because we had to make 9 symbols in a small Tied Adire.
