It took a lot of steps because I did all the dyeing and didn't really know what I wanted as the end product while I was doing it.
If you used commercially dyed fabric, it would be pretty easy: apply wonder under to back of black fabric. Trace design on freezer paper and apply to front of black fabric: cut out; fuse black fabric to background fabric.

They are fiber reactive procion dyes (I get mine from Dharma, but this was using someone else's supplies, so I'm not quite sure.) You thicken them by using a mixture of chemical water (urea) and sodium alginate. If you google, you can find recipes.
This allows you to use dye like paint; but since it is still actually dye, the hand of the fabric is not changed the way it is when you paint on it.
