Devore

These samples are done using specialist fabrics for devore and devore paste.

This sample is on Devore Silk Velvet. The paste is printed onto the fabric first and left to dry. Once dry, i heat pressed the fabric, which burns away the man made fibres. The fabric was the washed and dyed. I dyed this sample using Black K2647, Yellow MX3R and Red MX5B. This is one of my favourite samples, I really liked how the colours worked together.

This sample is on Devore Viscose dyed black with Black K2647 procion dye. I really like this sample as its simple and reminds me of a veil, possibly something you'd wear at a funeral, which supports my research into graveyards.

This sample is also on Devore Viscose. I firstly dyed the fabric using Red MX5B and Yellow MX4G. once this dye was dry, i batik'ed over the top and then dyed it using Black K2647. I ironed off the wax onc the dye was dry and pressed and washed the fabric. the yellow and pinky red dye was hardly visible, and the devore bled a lot whilst drying.
