    Sheree, I used the low immersion method (to get mottling), with Procion MX dyes.

    Thanks again, everyone.

    Amazing bright colours it looks really professional --well done.

    I lve the idea of making my own fabrics but things in Spain are difficult to find and the dyes I have tried are not very exciting colours.

    Will try the site you mentioned though Dharma, sounds good.

    for a link to the website that I learned to do this from. Sorry it took so long, I haven't had time to do my own tutorial, and the site I learned from (above) was down way back when I started this thread.

    You did great! When I first saw the pics, I thought they were Batiks that you bought! Your project looks as good if not better than the real thing! I was interested in doing this a long time ago after finding a site online and reading about the process deciding it was just too much mess and waste but you make it look simple; now I'm rethinking it's not that messy. Organization is key. You have inspired all of us for sure!! Thanks for the link and your help! :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I have a "recipe" for a 36 gradiation dye method, if you are interested.

    I haven't tried it yet myself, but got the instructions from someone that actually had and the fabrics were gorgeous!!!
