Dip Dye

To add some colour to my designs straight away, I tried out the dip dye technique we were shown in the print room. I picked the mid range pink and orange colours from my cake image to try, both in solid colour and with white sections. I was happy with the results, as they are bright and a close match for colour.

I started to layer up images on the dip dye background, which worked well, as the light yellow dye can easily be seen when overlapped with the white streaks. Because of the pink colour of the dip dye, the pigment colours have been altered, becoming darker, but they still fit in with my colour scheme. I might try using mixed white pigment to add brighter images on top to make a bolder statement.
