Heather:
Hey
Hey! I’m so happy to be sharing
with you guys on technique Tuesday, because we all know sharing is caring. My style is down and dirty, I’m a no
rules kinda gal. Rules… bah.
Anything goes, as long as I have
fun doing it… I’m a hedonist that way.
The
technique I am sharing today I came across as an art teacher, and have used
with much success with my students.
But why should the kids have all the fun? What I love about this technique, is that although you have
some control with placement of color, the dye will blend together to form
random patterns and textures on the paper. It’s a surprise each time you remove the tissue. So with out further ado, I present
Tissue Paper Tie Dye.
Materials
List: Spectra Bleeding Art Tissue
Paper Rainbow Pack (available through Blick’s or Curry’s Art Supply for my
Canadian Compatriots!)
Water
White
Vinegar (optional)
This
technique works best on paper, any kind really. I’m using a mixed media journal in my video.
I’ve had
people ask if it works on fabric, so I tried in the video. It works as long as you don’t wash the
fabric after. It’s not color fast
on fabric. It will wash out.
I hope you
enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this! I also taught art to kids for years. I think some the more basic supplies are often overlooked by adults but can be such fun! I got my bleeding tissue paper at Michaels. Also, at a combo teacher/art supply store (United Arts & Education) I found some no color bleeding paper. That was fun to use also! It is thicker than tissue. Just use whatever watercolor etc. you want and it will automatically bleed. It's great for making an ombre background. Thanks again for sharing this idea it makes me want to go get out my bleeding tissue right now! Great job on the video as well!
