This is a detail from a vat dyed piece that is 2 feet x 8 feet long called Long Walk Two. It was done as a monoprint with indigo dye on black rayon using a rubber block as a drawing device. This shows about 8 inches of the entire length. I like the results I am getting from the the monoprinting - the areas where the dye gets thicker discharge in a great way to give you the zig zag edge.

Wednesday, January 13, Vat Dye workshop
Yesterday I taught a Vat Dye Workshop in my studio for 5 great students. We had a very busy and exhilarating day. Vat Dyes are magical in the way they change color and "halo". Here are a few photos of the process.
