Batik
These were really cool to work with. So a batik is made by creating a design with a mixture that will resist dye, then dying the fabric and flaking off the resistant material before washing the fabric. I tried to create a design that would resemble peacock feathers, and the color was a blue-green, but I may have washed it a bit too soon. I soaked the fabric in hot water before washing to help set the color, but it still faded out a bit, giving it an aged look. This project takes time and patience (waiting for the resist and the dye or paint to dry on) but worth the effort.
