The Art of Hand-Dyeing Tissue Paper

Come on an extraordinary and colourful adventure into the world of hand-dyeing tissue paper.

Transform simple white tissue paper into beautiful textures with organic designs, then use it for creative projects.

Delve into this comprehensive guide to dyeing tissue paper with watercolour ink, acrylic ink and fabric dye. Learn the techniques of dip dyeing, pole wrapping, clamping, twisting, tie dye, wax resist and more. Use your dyed tissue paper in your artwork or make inspiring projects including tea lights, bookmarks, unique wrapping paper and vibrant wall art. Line tea trays with it, cover storage boxes or create notecards.

This book is as beautiful as it is practical. As well as experimenting with techniques and projects, allow Gill Barrett to walk you through the organic blooms of merged inks, the unique splatters of dripped ink, the symmetry of undulating lines and the variable inky washes of resist patterns.
