Fibers I-Simple Tie Dye

Task #1- Empty and rinse out the soda ash bucket. Follow directions on the side of the bucket. The soda ash is under the island sink in the cabinet.

Task #2- Get a piece of fabric, and use a permanent marker to write your first and last name. Place the fabric in the bucket until the conclusion of the video.

Task #3- Finish the video we started before break. The start time is on a posted note on the computer screen at the teacher's station.

Task #4- All tie dying must take place on a metal counter top. Arrange your fabric based on one of the designs from the video (Spiral, Scrunch, Accordian Folds). The video can be reveiwed, if needed. Add rubber bands. Next add dye to both sides of the piece. Blot both sides with paper towel. Slide the dyed piece into a plastic bag. Plastic bags are found under the counter by the wall. Get a piece of tape and write you name on it. Place it on the bag. Tie the bag closed and place in the small blue tote near the paste paint cart near the looms. 

Collages are due by next Friday, January 12th.

Fabric Constructions and Gio

Thank you for being a great class!

Quilting: Once your 9 squares are sewning and ironed, you can cut out the batting and the back to the same dimensions as the front panel. We will talk about how to complete them on Monday.

American Crossing Guard Week: I recieved a message from Mr. Henke about special gift that we could make for the crossing guards in our district. I told him about our pot holders, and he thought this would be a nice gift. Today would be a great day to construct a second pot holder to say thank you for helping the WRPS students safe.

Soft Sculpture: This is our next topic. This are Ugly Dolls or Sock Monsters. To get started on this sample, get sketch paper out of cabinet 13, and draw your character in full detail. I will help you design the pattern peices on Monday. Have Fun!!!!!
