Reactive Dye Colour Bleeding

Creating a colour bleed pattern with reactive dyes is easy and fun by randomly splatter the reactive dye on  the reverse side of a silk screen in different colours. You can then make the colours bleed by either using a pipette and water to make the colours run into each other or use clear plastic shrink wrap like I did here.

Once they are fully dry the Manutex paste needs rinsing off in cold water then they need to be steamed, here is me using the steamer.
