Found fabrics

Found among the five bags of "studio stuff" that were conveniently forgotten behind the chair in the bedroom - screen printed fabric, done at home several years ago with dye and thickener. Seems I was already enjoying "wavy lines" -
configured in various ways -
Some other prints in various colours (I don't remember how I did these, and didn't write it down) -
These are attempts at "breakdown printing" -
Nor can I remember whether the wet fabrics had to be "cured" for the dye to set, or whether heat is now needed ....

  2. Always fun to find something that you have totally forgot about!

  3. You have been doing wavy lines for awhile- it's funny how you don't notice these things yourself sometimes until you go looking back through things.
    re the breakdown printed cloth- how does it feel in your hand- if it's still a bit stiff it will need steaming.
