I spoke this week to the members of the Creative Clothing Club of Michigan showing over 40 items: garment, shawls, scarves, fabric and a quilt and discussing the surface design treatments used for each piece.

Purple Fabric - Discharged with a 50/50 Water and bleach solution sprayed on the fabric. The fabric was laid outside on a large plastic drop cloth. Stencils, found objects (an odd assortment of old tools, lace, rings, kitchen items) were placed on the fabric. With a good mask, gloves and wearing old clothes and an apron, I sprayed the fabric with the bleach solution.
Black cotton twill is folded and painted with bleach solution . Pictures are posted on the 9/2/14 post.
What a fun day! Thank you members of the Creative Clothing Club.
