Fabric design: Katazome table mat

Katazome is a resist technique where areas of the fabric which are not to be dyed are blocked out. There are many different ways of blocking out; a well-known one is batik, where wax keeps dye or fabric paint from bonding with the fibres. Katazome is a Japanese technique, using rice flour paste.
I tried this on coarse cotton, and it did work, even though finer fabric would have given more detailed results. If following the traditional method, I would have used a stencil, but I preferred to do my geometric design freehand.
