Best of 2015 Tutorials

As we end another year, I am again looking back on my favorite tutorials, or what I consider my best of 2015.  I hope you liked them. If you missed them, here are the links.

I started the year with a soy wax batik tutorial on my Back-to-Basics video series.  LINK

Dyeing with ties was popular with a lot of you. It’s so much fun. If you’ve not done it yet, it’s something you might want to put on your creative to-do list. LINK

Another video I posted was using fabric as stencils. This is so much fun and a great way to add design to either fabric or paper. LINK

I loved taking some of my indigo-dyed fabric and over dyeing it.  LINK

Then I had some fun clamping and dyeing fabric using the usual and some switch plates as masks. LINK

Love when I can look at something and recreate it. That’s what happened with this ice dyed piece. LINK

Lastly, since I love ice dyeing, I added soy wax to the process and came up with this, one of my favorite pieces. Link

These tutorials were so much fun to put together. I hope you enjoyed them and maybe were even inspired. Looking forward to the new year and new experiments!

Oh, I just found this linky party with Best of 2015 posts you might like to check out. Link
