Harmony Hand Dyes   hand-dyed Fabric MX Procion Dye Shiva Paintstiks  Tisdale SK Sask Saskatchewan Canada
Embellishing Fabric
with Tsukineko Ink
Tsukineko inks (when heat set) are a permanent, washable product


You can use the Tsukineko ink straight out of the bottle on fabric.


You can create a paint medium by mixing:
    2 tablespoons aloe vera gel  (yes.... the kind you use to sooth a sunburn!)
    4 drop of Tsukineko ink.
Fabric at right was sponged with the aloe vera gel and ink mixture
using some greens and blues for background.  When that layer was
dry (I cheated and ironed it dry with paper under and over the
fabric) I did the next layer.

The dragon was outlined and painted with the aloe vera/ink.

You can paint, stamp, sponge... whatever you like

When ink IS DRY - HEAT SET with an iron.
