Breakdown Printing

Not sure who was having the breakdown - me or the screen.  No, to be fair, it was an amazing experience and I am hoping to have another try very soon.  Below is one of the pieces of fabric produced by a member of the group.  It has to be 'batched' and washed yet so it will be interesting to see what it looks like after that.  Pretty different I imagine.




We had pre-prepared 6 screens and I somehow managed to get through most of the morning before I realised that I should have taken some photographs.  It was too late by then as the fabric that had been done was rolled up in plastic sheeting 'batching'.

We also prepared some flour resist pieces of fabric and used the leftover thickened Procion dye to colour them.  Hopefully next month some of the pieces will be brought along to show off.

On another note, one of our members had a nasty fall a while back and, whilst she has been recuperating, she has produced a rather wonderful piece of work from all the bits and pieces she had accummulated over the years.
