I know some one here must be interested in dying their own fabri.........here is a tecnique I was told about
supplies:
Powered rit dye
Can shaving cream [no oils added] Colgate is a good one
something to cover your table
plastic wrap

fabric in size that is convient to handle , fat quarters good
spread shaving cream on table about an inch thick
dissolve 2 teaspoons of dye in water
dribble swirl ,or streak on shaving cream
lay fabric on top of this, you will see it soak up the dye, when it looks good to you, lay it out on plastic wrap, right side up
roll up and put in mirowave, just long enough to set the dye
rinse well and dry
I going to try it in orange this weekend
I was told it has a marbled look
