This has been a great project, and one that the City Commission has been proud to participate in.

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream. Vincent van Gogh
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.Pablo Picasso Quotes
"Colour and I are one. I am a painter." - Paul Klee, 1914.
"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves." - Willem de Kooning, 1968
Exploring New Art Techniques
Naked Raku or Slip Resist Rakuis a relatively new technique which has risen out of the traditional Eastern and Western Raku Movements. As with traditional Raku, Naked Raku works are fired quickly in a rush of excitement, smoke, and frantic activity.Naked Raku wo
rks are constructed using traditional methods of hand building, wheel throwing or a combination of these techniques. The types of clay used will vary among artists; however, all clays used must be able to withstand the tremendous stresses of rapidly changing temperatures during the final firing. Once constructed, works are allowed to dry completely. They are then burnished or polished using an agate or other hard, smooth object. This process is very tedious and time consuming, often taking several hours to complete one piece. The finished works are not covered with glazes or surface preparations of any kind. The fine surface and beautiful shine is merely polished clay. The quality of the surface is directly proportional to the time the artist spends in burnishing. Upon completion of the burnishing stage the works are bisque fired to help strengthen them for the final firing process.Bisqued works are covered with a thin coating of liquid clay called slip. Once this layer is dry a thin layer of sacrificial glaze is then applied to the slip. These two layers dry and shrink at different rates and begin to produce a crackled surface. The work is then fired in a propane fueled Raku kiln to temperatures approaching 1800Ëš F. The glowing hot works are quickly removed from the kiln and placed into metal cans containing newspaper and 
sawdust. The cans are then sealed allowing heavy black smoke to penetrate the works and seep through the cracks in the slip/glaze layer. When the works are cool the sacrificial slip and glaze layers are gently peeled away leaving the “Naked†clay surface with a randomly beautiful smoked design.Naked Raku works are one of a kind pieces of fine art. They are not intended for food or as containers for liquids. As with all works of fine art, Naked Raku pieces should be handled with care and protected from direct sunlight.
Florida landscape painter Jackie Schindehette and Equine artist Sharon Crute have partnered to help in the revitalization of historic downtown Ocala. Voilart! Art Gallery and Working Studio opens September 1, at 108 East Ft. King Street, just one block south of the Central Square. The public is invited to A Ribbon Cutting Opening Reception scheduled for Friday, September 4 from 5PM-8PM.
The gallery offers the finest in artistic excellence from these two accomplished artists. Sharon Crute’s dynamic paintings are a colorful and bold interpretation of the horse racing industry. Jackie Schindehette’s oil paintings give the viewer a glimpse of old Florida with sweeping vistas and moss draped oaks.
Voilart! Art Gallery is not only a gallery where people can see art at its best but is also a working studio offering the unique opportunity for the public to watch as these two artists actually create paintings from conception to the last brush stroke. Schindehette points out that "Sharon and I will be painting in the studio/gallery and invite people to stop by, sit a while, learn a little more about art and share our passion."
"The gallery will showcase our own paintings, but we are also on a mission to actively support all cultural events within the community, educate the public about the arts and provide a powerful presence in the downtown art scene", says co-owner Sharon Crute.
Crute and Schindehette have already begun to work for the arts community. The gallery will be headquarters for all painters participating in the World Wide Plein Air Event to be held September 12 in downtown Ocala from 7 AM - 5 PM. Maps of downtown charting the location of each artist will be handed out so the public can find and watch each artist working.
Original paintings by Crute and Schindehette will be available at Voilart! Art Gallery as well as giclee reproductions and gift items created from works by these two nationally recognized artists.

Our Featured Artist Member of the Month
Kazuko de Bie
Kazuko was born in Japan, and came to the United States as an exchange nurse. After raising a child, she began to create oil paintings. Kaziko specializes among other things in landscapes, cityscapes, and still-lifes. She works mainly in oil, and occasionally in water as medium.
Kazuko has won many awards. Her cityscapes of Waukesha, Wisconsin are a permanent collection at the Waukesha Court House and City Hall. For these works she w
as awarded the key of the city. Currently two of her works, 'Chamber of Commerce' and 'Brickcity, Center of Art' are on display at the Planning Management building in Ocala. Her style of painting is mostly in impressionism, and sometimes in realism. You can contact Kazuko at: edmond@mfi.net
Featured Master Artist of the Month:
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innova
tive and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. The son of an engraver, he studied at the State School of Applied Arts in Vienna. In the 1880s and 1890s he produced murals for public buildings -- including Vienna's Burgtheater and new Kunsthistorisches Museum (Art History Museum) -- in the prevailing classical-realist style. Klimt's style grew increasingly experimental, however, and his murals for Vienna University, commissioned by the State in 1894, were roundly attacked by critics for their fantastical imagery and their bold, decorative style. Partly in response to this reaction, in 1897 Klimt helped form the Secession, a group of artists dedicated to challenging the conservative Academy of Fine Arts. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimt's mature style combined richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content. After 1900 he concentrated on portraits and landscapes, although he also produced two of his greatest murals during this period -- The Beethoven Frieze, exhibited at the Secession in 1902, and decorations for the Palais Stoclet in Brussels (1904-1911). Klimt spent most of his summers on the Attersee, near Salzburg, where he drew inspiration for many of his landscapes, and where he painted some of his best-known works, including The Kiss of 1907-8.

We really try to take in all aspects of art, greeting cards, clothing and pottery. We want to display all levels and styles of original artwork.
ACB: Can you tell us a little bit about what future events you will be involved in?

Image Transfer
Ever wanted to print or copy a favourite picture onto another piece or paper or card? This simple process makes it easy:
Take the image you want to transfer and get a Canon colour photocopy made; you may need to reverse the image for it to transfer the right way
It has to be a Canon photocopy because of the type of ink they use.
Take the photocopy, place it face down on the paper you wish to transfer it to and rub the back of the photocopy with a sponge soaked in a little acetone. Make sure you don't move the photocopy or the target paper while you do this.
The image will transfer from the photocopy to your paper.
Warning. Acetone is not a very nice material to breath so make sure you do this in a well-ventilated area or preferably outside. We braved the elements and did out transfers out doors. You can get acetone from hardware stores. Read the warning labels.

Famous Artist Quotes:
Cy Twombly A painter paints the appearance of things, not their objective correctness, in fact he creates new appearances of things.
Giorgio Morandi A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness
Diego Rivera ::: I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Rousseau, Henri,

Diego Rivera ::: I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Rousseau, Henri,
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau
known as Le Douanier Rousseau (1844-1910). French painter, the most celebrated of naïve artists.
His nickname refers to the job he held with the Paris Customs Office (1871-93), although he never actually rose to the rank of `Douanier' (Customs Officer). Before this he had served in the army, and he later claimed to have seen service in Mexico, but this story seems to be a product of his imagination. He took up painting as a hobby and accepted early retirement in 1893 so he could devote himself to art.
His character was extraordinarily ingenuous and he suffered much ridicule (although
he sometimes interpreted sarcastic remarks literally and took them as praise) as well as enduring great poverty. However, his faith in his own abilities never wavered. He tried to paint in the academic m
anner of such traditionalist artists as Bouguereau and Gérôme, but it was the innocence and charm of his work that won him the admiration of the avant-garde: in 1908 Picasso gave a banquet, half serious half burlesque, in his honor. Rousseau is now best known for his jungle scenes, the first of which is Surprised! (Tropical Storm with a Tiger) (National Gallery, London, 1891) and the last The Dream (MOMA, New York, 1910). These two paintings are works of great imaginative power, in which he showed his extraordinary ability to retain the utter freshness of his vision even when working on a large scale and with loving attention to detail. He claimed such scenes were inspired by his experiences in Mexico, but in fact his sources were illustrated books and visits to the zoo and botanical gardens in Paris. His other work ranges from the jaunty humor of The Football Players (Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1908) to the mesmeric, eerie beauty of The Sleeping Gypsy (MOMA, 1897). Rousseau was buried in a pauper's grave, but his greatness began to be widely acknowledged soon after his death.

Exhibition around the Globe
:This time we are going to see Palzzo delle Esposizioni in Rome
Bulgari. From History to Eternity. 125 Years of Italian Jewellery
Curated by Amanda Triossi22 May 2009 - 13 September 2009
Palazzo delle Esposizioni presents a landmark show devoted to the jewellery of Bulgari which marks the 125th anniversary of the opening of the first store in Rome in 1884. It is an event that is extremely significant for Italian decorative arts, in particular, for the history of jewellery, inasmuch as it makes it possible to survey the evolution of European jewellery through the production of one of the leading jewellers in the world.By bringing together nearly five hundred objects created between 1884 and 2009, the exhibition intends to illustrate the origin and success of an absolutely distinctive style and, at the same time, celebrate the extraordinary technical and creative quality
of the famous Roman maison.Articulated in chronological and thematic sections in the eight monumental galleries of the piano nobile, the exhibition begins with a display of silver artefact's manufactured by the founder of the firm, Sotirio Bulgari, a Greek silversmith who settled in Rome in 1881. The following section is dedicated to the splendid diamond-set jewels in Art Déco style, which clearly illustrate the success the maison had achieved in the field of jewellery by the 1930s when the second generation of Bulgari, Giorgio and Costantino, succeeded Sotirio in
running the firm. The exhibition continues with the most representative examples of the 1940s and 1950s, which were still stylistically influenced by the Parisian jewellery in vogue at the time, and then leads the visitor to the creative turning point of the 1960s. The jewellery here, marked by compact, rounded shapes and an abundant use of coloured gemstones in surprising and unusual combinations, reveals the beginning of a distinctive new style that coincides with the arrival of the third generation of Bulgari, that of Gianni, Nicola and Paolo. The extremely eclectic and original creations of the 1970s, ranging from jewellery evocative of the Indian tradition to that inspired by Pop Art, then develop into the innovative and daring designs of the 1980s and 1990s. The central rotunda of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the visitor's final destination, is entirely dedicated to the most precious and exclusive creations of the new millennium which testify the continuing success of Bulgari, now under the guidance of Francesco Trapani of the fourth generation. Here, a diamond necklace of incomparable beauty and overwhelming economic value represents the most spectacular conclusion possible.The exhibition devotes special attention to some of the most significant themes of the Bulgari style such as: coins mounted in jewellery, serpent motifs, the so-called Tubogas and the BVLGARI logo used as a decorative element. An entire section is dedicated to the Dolce Vita and the company's close ties with the film industry of the 1950s and 1960s. For the first time 
ever, visitors will be able to admire the spectacular jewels worn by such great film stars as Ingrid Bergman, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Anna Magnani, as well as other celebrities, along with photographs and film clips. An entire room will be reserved for the extraordinary Bulgari collection belonging to Elizabeth Taylor: enormous emeralds and sapphires in magnificent diamond surrounds characterize the celebrated jewels of her love story with Richard Burton.Approximately two hundred and fifty items in the exhibition are part of the Bulgari Vintage Collection (a retrospective collection not for sale) while the jewels that come from private collections are on display here for the first time.This extraordinary exhibition is complemented by a richly illustrated catalogue of 376 pages, which is available in Italian, English and French.

Polish women artists living in USA
by Ewa Maria Hunca
Our Art Club of Belleview unites a group of people who represent various fields of fine arts and work with various media - we are painters, graphic artists, photographers and makers of variety of such objects as for instance cards and papier mache artifacts. Our chairman Danela creates unique abstract pictures using bobbing lace technique. We are professionals and amateurs. As is typical for Florida, we have come here from all over the United States. Thus, we represent a substantial amount of experience we can share with each other. But our variety is even larger: some of us represent various ethnic backgrounds like Czech, German, Dutch, Japanese, Polish. We can give first hand information about our old homelands and I find this very appealing.So when Danela asked me to write something about Polish art, I felt very happy and excited.Though, of course, it did not seem an easy task.What to choose? What do you know about Poland?Perhaps you recollect Nicolaus Copernicus and his heliocentric system? When you come to Poland you will be able to visit his beautifully gothic native town of Torun or Cracow , where his Alma Mater, the Jagiellonian University, was founded in 14th century. Or perhaps you saw the film 'Quo Vadis', (about Christians in the ancient Rome of Nero), based on the book written by the Nobel Prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz?Well, to let you know about some famous Poles - some ofthem being especially tied to the history of America.Frederich Chopin, Joseph Conrad, Pola Negri, Maria Curie Sklodowska, Kazimer Pulaski, Karol Wojtyla..... But it is much more difficult to find Polish artists being so generally known. Probably only art historians will know who Henryk Rodakowski was - a famous portraitist and a winner of the Paris Salon 1st Class Medal in 1852, and it was just this once that the 1st Class Medal was won by a foreigner (Rodakowski was nominated for this award by Eugene Delacroix himself). Well, perhaps when you visited the Appleton Museum in Ocala you happened to notice an oil by Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski, a representative of the so called Munich School (many Poles studied art either in Paris or in Munich, Dresden and Vienna). Or maybe if you visit South Dakota you will be willing to see there the gigantic mountain sculpture of the Indian Warrior Crazy Horse. In 1939 the Dakota Indian Chief wrote to a Polish sculptor Korczak-Ziolkowski (1908 - 1982), living then in the USA) :" My fellow Chiefs and I would like the White Man to know that the Red Man has also great heroes." and he asked Ziolkowski to curve a sculpture of Crazy Horse in the mountain and the Pole worked on this sculpture for 40 years without any payment and his family is continuing the project.Or maybe when you enter New York galleries you will spot a sculpture by Magdalena Abakanowicz, a contemporary Polish artist who is very famous and asked to exhibit in the most prominent galleries all over the world.But there are really many contemporary Polish artists living in the United States and selling their art with a great success.

I have chosen 3 women artists to whom I have a more personal attitude and they will be the main subject of this essay. The 3 artists are:Joanna Zjawinska in San Francisco - who attracted me years ago when I saw her works for the first time in Poland;Anna Socha 
VanMatre in Cincinnati http://www.annavanmatre.com/home.html - a daughter of my mother,s school girlfriend;Maja Godlewska in Charlotte, a friend of my friend, both of them teachers at the University in North Carolina. Joanna Zjawinska graduated from the Warsaw School of Architecture in 1972 and then in 1978 from the Warsaw Fine Arts Academy. She moved to San Francisco in 1979 with her husband and started a very successful artistic career there.I have prepared the attachment no 2 so that you can see some of her works but you may also go to Google to see more.I suppose that Zjawinska's works can be an excellent topic for a discussion - How can one sell successfully and to paint more and more - does quantity of work influence its quality ? Of course it can be either way! But is it not a bit disturbing to paint so much and to sell one's works in every possible way so that one painting can be sold as an original, as a print, and as a copy on canvas with paint added to it at the same time? And again, of course nowadays our contact with art is so very often through reproduction - a music record (not in a concert hall), TV (not theatre), an album book (not a piece of art itself). Does it have any implications? If so which? And if you sell so well, do you intend to woo your buyers more and more or the opposite - you tend to be more independent in your art? What I like in Zjawinska's art is mainly her sense of theater and literature (maybe not so many people agree with me - not everybody likes a story in a painting), her ability to create a world of her own but with many literary and artistic references and digressions; hers is the world full of reminiscences of the French Belle Epoque or the world one may perhaps name the Great Gatsby's world. It is also the world of modern fashion and high society magazines, not without a hint of satire. But take a look and decide for yourself.Anna Socha VanMatre is a well known personality in Cincinnati - and she exhibits a lot in New York (right now in the NYC Gallery at49 ) . Critics say that her art is influenced by music - maybe because her husband is a well known musician; he a jazz saxophonist Rick VanMatre.Anna grew up in Cracow and graduated from the Cracow Fine Arts Academy. Her works are usually of enormous sizes, painted on floor. But look for yourself
And the last - but not the least - artist to be introduced now - is Maja (Maria) Godlewska , a professor of painting in the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. She was born and educated in the Polish city of Wroclaw and later on studied art in Dublin, Ireland and then lived for a couple of years in West Africa.She is a well known artist in Charlotte (and not only) you can see some of her art http://www.lassitergallery.com/Godlewska/maja0506.htm - critics see in it recollections of nature: trees, clouds, water but often not without a human body.

Fund raising
Our members: Nelly Ordija, Grace Kathman, Carol Dentici, Kazuko de Bie, Christe Slocum, Ewa Hunca Baker and Daniela Banatova have participated in charitable event .We painted chairs which are going to auctioned May 2 at Paddock Mall in Ocala. Profit from thic auction is going benefit organization Stirrups n' Strides, Theraupetic Riding
Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and now Florida. I think I'm a gypsy at heart.
My jobs have been many but my life's work is art. During my travels in my youth I painted murals. More recently I've done paintings which are political in nature and very symbolic like the painting, THE REVENGE OF THE TAINO. I asked the question - What if lung cancer is the cosmic consequence of the genocide of the Native American? My next question- Who were the first? Much of my work requires extensive research.
I have also done design and decorative painting on jewelry, cut-up t-shirts, wooden boxes, pottery, murals, and recycled pieces like shirts, purses and furniture. My t-shirts are currently on sale at Soul Essentials near downtown Ocala.
I believe there are infinite posibilities for art and design in our lives. It is all around us. We just need to open our eyes and hearts. I can be reached at nellyordija@yahoo.com, http://nellyordija.zoomshare.com."

Artists paint seats so riding center can have saddles

Theresa Grimes didn’t know what kind of interest she could generate when she took off with an idea to host an art auction to benefit a local therapeutic riding center.
She was especially interested to see who would want to turn chairs from places to sit into pieces of art.
Then the phone started ringing. She had 25 chairs accounted for the first day.
Now she has about 50 chairs, each of them painted with a theme unique to the area, ready to auction off at the Paddock Mall on Saturday.
“We must have 50 artists from all over the county that have worked on these,” she said, standing in her home looking over two full rooms and a garage full of chairs. “My husband was joking with me, saying this is the last ‘chairity’ fundraiser we can do.”
Each chair will go up for silent auction, with all the proceeds going to the Stirrups ’n Strides Therapeutic Riding Center. A good turnout could mean enough money to buy a new tractor and more supplies for the growing operation in Citra. Organizers are hoping to raise about $5,000.
“This will buy a lot of equipment to take care of our facility,” said Grimes, the organization’s fundraising coordinator. “It takes a lot to take care of our 10 horses and 50 riders.”
Stirrups ’n Strides provides therapeutic horseback riding and driving to disabled children and adults from Marion and Alachua counties. According to its Web site, studies have shown that therapeutic riding provides benefits such as psychological bonding, lifting of the spirit, increased attention span and improved balance, posture and flexibility.
Area artists from groups like the Belleview Art Club and Ocala Decorative Art Group stepped up to paint several chairs. Chairs that belonged to old dining room and nook sets now show off scenes like the gazebo on the downtown Ocala square, horses racing and jumping over bushes, scuba divers swimming with manatees and even a set of dairy cows with a plastic udder hanging below.
Local artist Angie Rosier painted three chairs for the auction, including one that sports a Sherman fox squirrel on the front and a longleaf pine on the back. The combination for her was more than just a natural pairing.
“One of the natural habitats for the fox squirrel is the longleaf pine, and I have both around my house,” she said. “But I wanted to paint them because they’re both becoming endangered.
“It’s an homage to what used to be Florida, the Florida I saw in the ’70s.”
Another chair, painted as a collective effort from The Media Group 3 in Ocala, shows an alligator opening its mouth between a collection of oranges and blues. Below, “2008 National Champions” is painted to commemorate the University of F

Ilka Boogaard
"As a webdesigner I owned a 'point and shoot' camera and had a lot of opportunities to take snapsh
ots. However my camera lacked the ability to take truly outstanding photos. Then I recently received a Canon Digital Rebel as a Christmas present and rediscoverd how much fun photography can be.
As a global citizen (born in the Netherlands and resided in Costa Rica and the United States) I have lived in different cultures and surroundings and I hope to use that in my photography. My favorite subjects are travel, nature and street photography. You can see more of my photography at http://ilkajb.jalbum.net/Photo_Albums, or visit my website portfolio at http://art-spark.com/.
Featured Artist of the Month:
Nelly Ordija
"I was born in France but emigrated to the U.S. as a small child. I grew up mainly in Chicago but have lived in Colorado, California,
Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and now Florida. I think I'm a gypsy at heart.My jobs have been many but my life's work is art. During my travels in my youth I painted murals. More recently I've done paintings which are political in nature and very symbolic like the painting, THE REVENGE OF THE TAINO. I asked the question - What if lung cancer is the cosmic consequence of the genocide of the Native American? My next question- Who were the first? Much of my work requires extensive research.
I have also done design and decorative painting on jewelry, cut-up t-shirts, wooden boxes, pottery, murals, and recycled pieces like shirts, purses and furniture. My t-shirts are currently on sale at Soul Essentials near downtown Ocala.
I believe there are infinite posibilities for art and design in our lives. It is all around us. We just need to open our eyes and hearts. I can be reached at nellyordija@yahoo.com, http://nellyordija.zoomshare.com."

Studying a new technique:
A Brief History of Tiedy
Or what is tiedye, anyway?
The word tie-dye encompasses a wide variety of dye processes. I've defined it as any dye process in which a pattern (no matter how crude) is produced by a resist from folding, twisting or tying material in any way you can think of. Some type of tiedye process was probably used shortly after the first fabrics and dyes were invented. I'm sure it didn't take very long for someone to discover that twisting or scrunching material before it was dunked in the berry juice produced a pattern, and from there it was a short step to adding some string or vines or something.
Prehistory
Since fabric is perishable we don't have direct evidence of the earliest dye arts. Archaeologists have found a variety of stamps that may have been used for printing fabric 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia and India. Some of the stamps are rocker shaped, some are cylinders, and some are flat with a handle on the back, indicating a variety of uses. I would bet that if they could block print, they had already tiedyed. Actual resist-dyed mummy cloths have been found from 1000 BC in Egypt. We think that dyeing techniques traveled along trade routes from India to Egypt.
The Orient
There is also a rich tradition of tie-dye "shibori" in Japan where dye techniques were introduced from China around 400 BC. Shibori is still practiced in Japan and the United States. About 400 AD, Indian traders introduced dying techniques to Java where the art of Batik was developed. Plangi, tiedye, and a sewn version "tri-tik" also flourished in Indonesia.
Africa
Tie-dye has been practiced extensively in Africa, especially in Nigeria. I have also personally heard that there is now a tradition of tie-dye on the West Coast of Africa that uses synthetic dyes and patterns similar to ours -- if anyone has any more information about this please let me know.
The Americas
In the Americas, Pre-Columbian Peru stands out for its tradition of fabric art in which tie-dyes play a central role.
The So-called Modern World
Many types of tiedye are still used today for clothing, backgrounds for screen printing, sheets, tapestries, tees, and table covers. Often whole garments are dyed, but many items are also made from material that has been previously dyed. Our particular type of tie-dyeing was not possible until the invention of fiber reactive dyes in 1956. Until then, dyes had to be applied hot or with strong chemicals. Procion, the principle fiber reactive dye, can be applied cold and can be dripped on, which allows more than one color to be applied without reprocessing. Procion dye is also extremely colorfast. I personally started tiedying in 1978 when I went to work for "The Tiedye Company" on a community in Tennessee called "The Farm". The Tiedye Company had just been started by Charlotte Gabriel, who should get credit for developing many of our basic techniques, and in particular for inventing the star pattern.

DYING TECHNIQUES
SATURATION
Different levels of dye saturation in the cloth can often produce significantly different effects. The less you saturate your tied sheet, generally, the more white area you'll end up with. Sometimes this is a problem. Other times, it's what creates the coolest part of the pattern. I've found that often with pleated patterns, a slightly lower level of saturation is good. It creates a more defined set of parallel lines in the pattern. In spirals, I like a high level of saturation. Mostly these are things you'll have to try and decide for yourself...but try to consider it while you're dying.
LAYERING
I never have the patience, but a method that can create really complex patterns is to do 2 dying sessions on the same sheet. It's important to have a plan in this case because you might well ruin a good tie-dye by dumping more dye on it in a conflicting pattern. You might choose to do a spiral of blue and white on your first session...then diamond pattern over the top of that. I'm not particularly experienced with this, but it's on my list of things to try.
COLOR COMBINING
The art of color combining is probably one of the most important...and most personal aspects of tie-dying. There's just some colors that don't look good next to each other. Others are perfect. If you're doing a double dying session, you'll want to carefully consider which colors to use first so the colors of the second session will dye appropriately over the first ones. Adding yellow on top of black is pretty much going to be....black. But you can get cool effects by layering with good color combinations.
USING BLACK
Black is a really good tool in tie-dying. It can be used to highlight subtleties of the folding pattern that wouldn't come out very strongly otherwise. For example, I like to highlight the edges of pleats with black to strengthen the appearance of the parallel lines.
BLEACHING
I haven't tried it, but I've heard it works well to use bleach instead of dye for a piece of cloth that's already tie-dyed, or which starts as a color other than white. Do it just like you'd do with dye, but use bleach to create a pattern in white. Be careful that you don't use too strong a mixture or you'll eat holes in the material. I'd try starting with 25% bleach 75% water. I'm sure it depends on the fabric and the type of dye that's on it. When using bleach you're only going to leave it on for a fairly short period of time, rather than overnight. Just watch the areas you've bleached, and when they're as white as you want them, rinse it out.
Theophile Alexandre Steinlen
Birth Year : 1859
Death Year : 1923
Country : France, Switzerland
Steinlen was born in Switzerland, where he studied art at Lausanne and later became active as a textile designer in Mulhause. In 1882 he arrived in Paris where he worked as an illustrator for the journals Mirliton, Assiette au Beurre, Chat Noir, and Gil Blas, for which he produced over four hundred lithographs. As an artist he was not merely a commercial success but showed great sensitivity toward his subject matter. Besides illustrating advertisements for a variety of products, Steinlen was famous for his posters of cabaret and music hall performers. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these is one done for the French singer Yvette Guilbert's performances at the cabaret Les Ambassadeurs, executed in 1894. Guilbert preferred Steinlen's posters to another famous version, done by Toulouse-Lautrec, in which the artist distorted her features and figure, making her appear thin and bony to the point of 
freakishness. The two artists are often compared, although Steinlen's poster art, drawn with the same bold simplicity as Lautrec's, is marked by an air of sweetness and a quieter mood. However, his later work for the journals, like that of Lautrec, became increasingly satirical and critical of society. Steinlen, too, often drew genre scenes of the working class, capturing day
-to-day life in Paris with a simple, endearing style. He was very found of animals, especially cats, and often included them in his posters. Steinlen's cats proved so popular, in fact, that they became a trademark of his work.
