Part 4 Kool Aid and Shibori

You can stop where we were
or you may want to over dye
Just do the same thing with another color of Kool Aid

Here I am holding the fabric over the dye pot with blue

Here I am sprinkling some powdered Kool Aid onto the wet
previously dyed silk 

If you want you can leave part outside of dye bath and dye it that way
or I use two mason jars with  dye already mixed
and dip each end of the fabric inside
Then I microwave for 2 minutes and let it rest for a couple of minutes
and then repeat this until you have had it in the heat and dye
for about 10 minutes, or so.
Leave it to cool and exhaust the color.
Then hang it to dry

Finished fabric

another shot of same fabric

And yet another.

I hope this is clear to you
Enjoy yourself!

One Form of Shibori ~ Mini-Pole Wrapping ~ Dyeing With Kool Aid Part2

Pour enough water into your container to cover the fabric on the mini pole
(PVC Pipe)
With Kool Aid it is pretty much what you see
is what you get
I usually add two or three packets
into the water.
It is important to bring the water temperature up to but not boiling
Silk has to be maintained at a high temperature for at least
an hour
Then when it has been in the dyebath for an hour
let it set off of the heat source to let it cool
Wait until the water is clear
which means that the dye is exhausted.

keep the fabric submersed in the dye
always

Here you can see that it has taken up the color.

I have now pushed the fabric off of the tube
See you can see some white showing
This is the point of wrapping
it resists the dye

Now on to Part 3:
