Experimentation... Puffbinder


I like this sample, first of all I died it with procien dyes, after they had dried i then pressed it on the heat press at 180 degrees for 18 seconds to set the dye, after that, I then printed with my screen onto my fabric with black pigment dye, after i had waited for that to dry, i worked back into it for experimentation with puffbinder, i really like the effect this gave the piece, and i may use this technique in the future.

This is my second sample. For this I did the same as before, dying the white cotton with procien dyes and then setting it with the heat press, but then after instead of printing onto it with black pigment ink, i added black pigment ink to puffbinder to make it darker, and then printed with my screen and puffbinder, to give the puffbiner the raised up effect, you then have to blow the ink with a heat gun, this then raises the puffbinder up.
