Students need to bring (Yes, you really will need this stuff!):
- A piece of background fabric about 10” x 12” with red, orange, yellow in it. It will be covered up almost completely, so do not agonize over this choice
- Tree fabrics: dark batiks or blurry fabric in black, dark blue or very dark green
- Foreground branch fabric (wood cheater fabric works well), preferably in burnt-tree colors (black or brown with orange/red).
- Small scraps of flame colored fabrics: gold, orange, red, yellow – batiks or cottons or whatever you have around is fine.
- Sheer Fabrics. You need a few sheer fabrics that you can rip, tear, shred, for a total of about 10 small pieces or red, black, or gold tulle; cheap chiffon scarves in the same colors; sheer metallics; crinkled metallic silk; fabric made of bronze or gold metallic fibers; sheer fabrics in flame colors like orange, gold and red, gray; any other transparent, whispery, shimmery fabric will help as long as it will overlap with transparency over other layers.
