Embroided

This sample was done on white cotton, dyed with Yellow MX3R and Black K2647. I used black pigment to print with, and i was really happy with the clear and full print. I then embroided into the sample to create a extended sample. I really like embroidery, but it can be time consuming depending what parts i embroid.

These two samples were done while i was waiting for my screen to be exposed. I heat transferred my print onto dyed fabric usinf magic touch paper. The dye is one i made by mixing Red MX2R and Yellow MX4G to create a dark orange. I embroided into the sample. I also hand stitched pearl coloured beads on to it and glued fabric roses on with fabric glue. I think the sample worked well but would be very time consuming to do again.

This sample is done using a heat transfer of my tracing, like the sample above. I left the cotton white for this sample and decided to do a quilting sample. I layered white cotton with wadding, with my print heat transfer sample on top. I then embroided into the sandwich, making it quilted. Once i had finished, i finished off the sample by over-locking around the edges.
