Lino print on fabric.

For my next sample I wanted to elaborate my first sample a bit more. As I had used my Lino print onto paper, I decided to use a sample piece of fabric, and heat press my Lino print onto fabric. I used the same two colours, red and yellow, I rolled the transfer paint onto my Lino, pressed it onto a piece of paper in different ways. I then placed the fabric on top of my paper that had my print pressed onto it with transfer paint. Next step was the heat press. My fabric and paper was placed under the heat press for 60 seconds.
I was quite pleased with this fabric sample and how the colours turned out after being placed under the heat. I wasn't to sure about the shapes though, the bows didn't turn out quite as I'd expected and they wasn't as clear as I wanted them to be. I'm glad I sampled this process first. I don't think I will be using Lino print to produce my final product but it was good experimenting with different techniques.
