Barb Keeling of Keelingskrafts.com recently introduced me to Generation Green Colorants. The colorants come in small, but potent, eye dropper type bottles. One drop of the colorant in water goes a long, long way. When a smidgen of Fabric Magic is added, the fabric becomes washable. From another source I was given several pounds of 100% beeswax and had been wanting to experiment with the wax batiking process. The Generation Green Colorants proved very easy to use on 100% cotton fabric. They are non-toxic and contain no VOCs. The colors seen in this 13"x13" piece were added very sparingly to water. Perhaps I will be more bold and add more colorant to the water with the next piece. The colors are very vivid--real eye-poppers.Saturday, May 15, 2010
