Expressions Hand Dye Batiks by Riley Blake Designs
Featured batik in the Metaphor Quilt Kit by Riley Blake Designs.
The art of hand dying fabric is a time-honored craft that adds color and depth to fabric without applying any specific motif or repeating pattern. Applied by hand, the dye is completely entrenched into the fibers for a rich and dazzling saturation of color. The painterly nature of a hand-dye is achieved by scrunching or folding the fabric before applying the dye. Hand dyes are both monochromatic or multichromatic.
