Screening with thickened dye on top of deconstructed first layer
Rolling a third layer of dye using a foam roller
I frequently use a photo silk screened image to layer on top of the deconstructed marks. Then I might use a foam roller to add another layer of color.
Because I switch back and forth between powdered MX dyes and Liquid Reactive I use the bullet steamer to set the dyes. If I am doing a really small piece I will steam them while still wet in the microwave. Other wise I let them dry over night on the the table and then roll both the drop cloth and the silk around a card board tube and steam for about 30min.

Once they are done steaming they get washed in the washer and dried in the dryer.
The final step is serging... I love having the option of the color choice for the rolled edge.
