Continuing to develop my textile pieces at Morley today based on the Scallop sculpture. Today was time to experiment with a new screen, using some of the text from the sculpture. Unfortunately, I had a complete brain drop after the screen was exposed, and started to scrub this, rather than wash it gently. This led to a breakdown ( of the screen, not me) and potentially a shambles, however, on test printing, it proves to give some interesting effects, consistent with weathering of metal. ( Photos are from my phone, so not great quality).
First, testing on paper, breakdown section at the top
Next, on a piece of tray-dyed cloth
Then, trying out coloured puff binder again. This gives a very intriguing effect, particularly at the breakdown bit.
Attempts to show the 3D effect of the puff binder
Lots to work on here.
I have used puff binder for printing a couple of times and really like the effect. Presumably you mixed it with the colour.
ReplyDeleteInteresting words.
How about doing a screen with just the "breakdown" bit, to use with puff binder? That might also be a useful thermofax to get made, if you do any printing at home.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, there are a lot of commercial designs around that Intentionally look a bit weathered so don't best yourself up!! The puffy stuff looked a bit like something I half remember from childhood, did we call it flocked?
