Having previously learning how to dye fabrics I began to think about the fabrics I was working on and whether I should leave them plain. I selected some samples of different qualities of fabric ranging from heavy weight cotton to silk crepe. I wanted to see what colours I could achieve in the realms of my colour pallet and whether they would be successful to work on top of.
Some colours worked much better than others but it was sort of a trial and error exercise. Recording the amounts, colours information etc allowed me to achieve appropriate colours more than once. I felt that the paler the colours the better in order to exaggerate the detail of colour and texture in the bonderweb.
