This is a closeup image of a surface design I did in my Surface Design and Textiles class. I started out with a white piece of muslin, and then I dyed it a dark fuchia color. After that I silk screened an illustration by Proper Etiquette onto it. I absolutely hated the thing. So what I did was use the arashi shibori technique and poured a discharge formula over it. After it was washed, dried and pressed I absolutely fell in love with it. I love the colors and the pattern. I can’t wait to do more.
