I meant to say "thick" not "think" on my previous post. Where is spell check when you need it?!

I''m curious about "discharge." What does that mean?

Discharging using a special bleaching agent that I get from Dharma Trading on the internet - called Dischage paste. It is think and you use it to remove color with silk screen, stencils, paint brushes, stamps, etc. I love how it reveals the colors underneath - the colors that combined to create the color you are discharging. It's another fascinating and magical process of textile art.

Hi Jane, It's Alena from Minnesota. I've truly enjoyed taking your class. You were born to teach and that's not easy on camera. I started with a black scarf and silk-screed (thermofax) to image with discharge and Luminare. The screen which I purchased is made from real leaves. It can be purchased from Marcy Tilton. I love the effect of silkcreening with dischage and adding paint at the same time.
