PAINTING WITH THE SUN A particularly simply technique, giving stunning techniques. This process has been used throughout the South Sea Islands of the Pacific to decorate Sarongs or Pareos. Setacolor will react to Sunlight. Select some interesting shapes for your design, such as: Flowers Leaves Netting Feathers Pre-cut cardboard shapes   Gently stretch the fabric over a frame, or spread out on the ground, on plastic sheeting away from direct sunlight Sponge dye or paint the fabric with Setacolor Soleil. If you prefer. Dye the fabric in a bath of Soleil, wringing out excess dye before spreading. Scatter the shapes over the fabric. Once you are happy with the design. Expose the material to sunlight. It is important that the material is not exposed to direct sunlight prior to assembling the design items on the fabric. To add extra effect, sprinkle course salt over the fabric, combining both Heliographic and Salt techniques. In the absence of sunlight, exposure to infra-red light or Sunlamp. To fix: set the iron temperature according to COTTON. Iron the reverse of the fabric for 3 to 5 minutes. Washable 48 hours after fixing BACK
Salt Technique Lightly dampen your chosen fabric with water. Apply the Setacolor Soleil to the fabric using a sponge or large paint brush Sprinkle the fabric surface (painted side) with a dry course salt while the fabric is wet. Allow to dry. Brush or dust off the salt. The salt may be dried and stored for further craft use. To fix: set the iron temperature according to fabric type. Iron the revere of the fabric for 3 to 5 minutes. Washable 48hours after fixing BACK
Folds and Knots Fold and Knot your material Soak either all or part of your fabric in the colour or colours of your choice. Leave for at least 24 hours. The design will depend upon the way you have folded and knotted your material Here are some ides to try: Screw fabric into a ball and tie up with several elastic bands. Chose a point from which you can twist your material, then tie it with elastic bands. Roll or crumple your material then tie it up. Back
