Mark making with string.


Tie-dyeing.
A process of hand dyeing fabric,
in which sections are tightly bound, as with string,
to resist the dye solution,
thereby creating a variegated pattern.
Making decorative marks with string.
Tie the string tightly.
Use a variety of tying techniques.
Use dark dye over softer colours.
Rinse the fabric well to prevent colour bleeding.
Sew sqares of dyed fabric together.
Make a panel for a cushion.
