Transfer Dyes Success

Finally bought a set of three primary Transprint Inks to play with as my success with all my other products didn't work. I used some white satin fabric which was more successful on the back than the front.

First I did a mixing exercise with the three colours. When I printed it, I repeated it to get a transparency effect. The holes by the way were from the steam iron.



This was a painted piece of paper which I then cut up and printed.


This was crumpled up paper then flattened out and washed with diluted inks. Then I tore up the pieces and transferred them onto fabric.

This was a quick drawing which I then transferred onto the fabric and repeated a couple of times.



Another crumpled up piece which was torn up and then layered a few times.


This time I had more success and it was quite fun. I am already thinking of some ideas to incorporate this into my quilting.

I love this City & Guilds course! It is really forcing me to do new things.
