I have been trying to find a good surface on which to do more fabric printing. The best combination so far for home-based, restricted space, seems to be the broad ironing board, with 4 layers of blanket, and a layer of calico. Yesterday's experiments were more roses on the blue dyed cloth with Liquitex fabric paint ( applied to the stamp with a brayer) in two blues and a mixed purple. Good transparency with these and the hand of the fabric hasn't changed much. Good wash-resistance as well, tested this morning.
I then got very improvisational and rolled the remaining paint, diluted with water, from the brayer onto unpinned cloth on the printing surface. I like how industrial this looks.
I'm going to use this bit in a journal quilt.
Today's sunshine is a welcome contrast to the sky earlier this week.
The printing is looking really fab
ReplyDeleteNice! What did you make your rose stamp out of? Like the effect of the 'play' later on too.....
