I haven't done it myself, but Michael did it at the workshop at ProChem last August. He tied up some designs, then immersion dyed the pieces.

He got some cool effects.

OK, I hope I can ask this here without posting out of context but it is about mandalas.
I tried to post this somewhere this morning so it might be floating somewhere here.
I came across this artist on Dharma's website. How does someone do this? The work is beautiful. Is this thickened dye painted on? I'm very new. So new I haven't even purchased Dharma's dyes yet. I was using RIT. I know, you probably think that so virgin.
Anyway, here's the link to the artist. Scroll down and check out her mandalas. Please tell me how someone would do that.
