Experimenting with Puff Binder


Puff binder print, using Blue B pigment in the puff binder to dye it blue. This was a very effective print on to Muslin and I was pleased with the outcome.
Instead of adding colour to the puff binder, this time I dyed the material. I used a A4 piece of cotton and dyed it using  waterd down Yellow MX4G, Red MX5B and Blue MXR procion dyes. After I had fixed and washed the fabric I used white puff binder for my print.
I really liked the puff binder on muslin, so I decided to dye the muslin as I was impressed with how the dying the fabric with white puff binder looked. This time, to really make the white puff binder stand out, I dyed the muslin without diluting the procion dye first. The final outcome is with out doubt my favourite so far.
 
For this sample I decided to colour both the fabric and the puff binder. Unfortunately a bit of white puff binder was left on the screen and came through on to the fabric. In future I will check my screen first before printing.
