Abstract
A method for creating a design on a garment or fabric comprising preparing a patterning medium comprising a cellulose ether in a trough, adding onto the surface of said medium a fabric oxidizing or reducing agent in a desired pattern, contacting a garment or fabric with said surface of said medium for a time sufficient to permit the oxidizing or reducing agent to be transferred onto said garment and to partially oxidize or reduce the color in the garment or fabric, removing said garment or fabric from said medium, treating said garment or fabric with a neutralizing agent so as to neutralize excess oxidizing or reducing agent on said garment or fabric, and rinsing said garment or fabric with water so as to remove excess cellulose ether on said garment or fabric.
