Experimenting with Devore

This is my Devore Velvet before I have heat pressed it. 

This is my Azeta before I have heat pressed it.

The Azeta final outcome. After heat pressing I washed away the burnt fibres and dyed the fabric. This is the one i am most happy with as the print is clear and visible. 

The Devore Silk final outcome. There isn't a 'before' image for the silk as it wasn't visible on camera. I am least happy with this one, although this is my favourite fabric, the devore paste smudge slightly when I lifted the screen and the print isn't as visible through the dye as I would have liked.

The Devore Velvet final outcome. I like this sample apart from the dye is to dark and the print is back to front. This is because when printing on to velvet, you have to do it on the back as you can't print onto the long fibres, so this left the print back to front. Next time I would use lighter dyes. I would like to try this sample using a screen with out writing so the wording wouldn't be back to front.
