Tray Dyeing is Fast, Easy and Fun!
Leslie Morgan and Claire Benn deliver precise and well thought out instructions for every step of the Tray Dyeing process – from the preliminaries of understanding color schemes and harmonies to choosing your fabrics and selecting your equipment, as well as specific formulas for mixing up your dye and chemical solutions.
There are even recipes for using your leftover dyes!
Claire and Leslie have provided well-photographed examples of every part of the process, including fabric manipulation and dye application, coupled with detailed explanations of the role of every component you will be using, along with the ever so handy trouble shooting section.
Scrumple, Pack, Fold, Pucker -- there is no right or wrong way to Tray Dye!
The more you manipulate, the more you blend. Massage a lot, or massage a little. It’s all about experimenting and having fun with your trays. You can start small with a cat litter tray and move onto larger trays for wall art and larger runs of fabric. Tray Dyeing is one of the easiest ways of working with your dyes and the results are always different and always exciting!
