DYEING & PAINTING FABRIC
You can't always get the perfect fabric - sometimes you have to create it for yourself. This page is dedicated to all the ways cloth can be dip-dyed, tie-dyed, batiked, stencilled, painted, stamped, and otherwise altered to suit your needs.
I only have a handful of books on this subject - I seldom live anywhere I have
