Textile print sample experiments


Procion Mx Dye, Mono print effect, Discharge.
  So the time came to get my hands dirty in the print room! From taking shapes as inspiration from my sketchbook drawings  I decided to try out various effects with the fabric. I used a mixed collection of fabric from light weight cotton and silk to heavy weight cotton drill.  from dying parts of the material with procion mx dyes, I then decided to try mono printing with Mx dyes but whilst the dye is still wet I then proceeded to discharge over the top in various stencil/mono print effect design and then use an opaque binder on top to finish of the design .

  so combining all of these methods gave me some extremely interesting  effects which have then enabled me to think further about how I want to develop my fabric choice and designs. It has also enabled me think further about my pattern design and what shapes work best with the particular area I want to focus on.
