The colour I used was a lot brighter than I originally planned but I feel it worked out for the best for me as it conveys the colours I wanted and gives a stronger look. It was ever so easy to do and I would defiantly use the marbling technique again (my mum might say different as I did make a little bit of a mess), I wasn't too fussed on the design that printed onto my fabric as I just needed a ruff texture to be conveyed but I feel that if you had an effect in mind it would work amazingly well! Mixing the colours would look good as well.
I used a giant tub that I found lying about in the garage and filled it up with 4ltrs of cold water, added 12 tea spoons (its 3 tea spoons per ltr) of the powder and left it for at least 4-5 hours.. it does only say 2 hours but I needed to pop to the shops and the longer the better as it needs to dissolve almost until its gone!! Then I just went a head and added droplets of my dye and dipped my fabric in and it was done, some bits of my fabric I dyed twice just because I wanted it to layer up and have different layers of printed patterns but when using this technique your left with the design in your own hands so its all just trail and error really.
Over all I am happy with my fabric outcome and need to get manufacturing now!
