Lorre H. demonstrates the technique of adding
ink to the tray of water

Sue O. and Nancy S. took advantage of a
Suminagashi class (also known as Japanese Marbling) last week at the Lander Art Center. It was a lot of fun and resulted in some interesting results.

adding layers of color on top of the water |
The marbling ink is placed on top of the water in layers. The layers can carefully be manipulated to create swirls or pools of color.

The colors were quite vivid when they were wet, but once dried and pressed, they became muted.

Of all the fabric that was dyed that evening, this piece was by far a favorite. More photos on Monday . . .
