Discharge Dyeing Once Again

Had a lot of fun yesterday doing some discharge dyeing. I first tried doing ice discharge dyeing, but didn't get good results at all.  I was afraid to leave the Softscrub on too long and removed it too soon, which  resulted in very little dye being removed. By then I was out of ice, but not bleach.


Black shirt,  accordion folded, tied, then I poured 1/2 bleach/half water mix over it.

Triangular folded and dipped.  I like this one a lot.


Previously dyed, swirled and discharged.


Shibori wrapped around pole and immersed into 1/2 bleach/1/2 water mix.

Itajime Shibori Over-dyed and Batik with Discharge

Below is an overdyed itajime piece.  Here is the original fabric.  I liked it but felt it needed more complexity.


So I accordion foldeded it, used two round coasters clamped together and squirted yellow, orange, red and black carefully and strategically around the coasters.

Below is a piece that was batiked and became very dark.  Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of the original.  I shibori discharged it using bleach/water in a 50/50 mix.
