I also did some dyeing while I was in hospital (lots of black humour associated with that verb, but let's not go there). The vessel in my previous post made up of hands, was made from one of those cloths and here are more:
I used sun paints, mixed lots of colours, scrunched up the fabric to make lots of creases and submerged it in the dye, instead of pouring the dye on top, as I think one normally does with sun paints (since they're actually fabric paint, as opposed to fabric dye). When dried in the sun, all the cracks show up because of how the sun paint migrates to the areas which dry first. I just love this effect.
