Heat press sample.

For my final sample before starting to make print onto fabric I wanted to use the heat press again. This time I wanted to use words and letters. As my project is based around the 90's, I chose a product and a word relevant to this timing. My word was Barbie. I chose this word as I've been researching the Barbie brand and clothing. I printed the word 'Barbie' off the computer in reverse. I then took some transfer paint and painted over the letters. I used the colour purple. I then splashed some ink around the word to create more of a 90's pattern. This paper was then placed on top of a fabric piece and heat pressed for 60 seconds.
The sample was great, if there was anything I would change I would have the lettering slightly darker. To do this I would use more transfer paint to make the letters darker. This is how my sample looked.
