Does anyone have advice on creating a tie-dye effect using wetted
tissue papers? I read a lesson plan in the September 2008 issue of
School Arts, and the description was to "paste" squares of layered
tissue papers down using water, allow them to dry on the page, and then
remove the papers to create a tie-dye effect with the transfered dye.
Upon making my own sample, I found that very little dye transfered and
the effect was there but very very light and subtle. Does anyone have
any words of wisdom (tissue paper brands that might work better than
others, or using something other than water to pull dye out of the
paper) or another technique used to create a similar effect?

Are you sure you used the Bleedable tissue paper? There are two types one that
bleeds (you want) and non-bleedable. That makes a huge difference. I saw some in
Michaels the other day.

1. My young students really enjoyed that aspect of "bleeding" tissue
paper
2. We did not use that technique in isolation...felt that it was more
effective if some of the tissue stayed on the paper for texture and
contrast
3. Not all tissue brands "bleed"
4. Tissue also bleeds on to the artists' hands and is nearly impossible
to remove
5. Ditto for art furniture.
6. We used white glue and water mixed, applied with stiff bristle
brushes.

Lay the tissue down and then use a spray bottle to spray water onto the
tissue. There are a few colors that just don't bleed enough. Great for fall
trees.
