Well as promised here are some of the results of my printing at the weekend. First 2 pages from my sketchbook with acrylic paint printing. These are the results after I worked out the correct amount of paint to use.


And then the results with dye paste printed on fabric. The leaves were real ones from the garden placed on the fabric and printed over.



You get some interesting effects with the blue dye moving through the fabric faster than the yellow in the green. The reverse was sometimes more pleasing on the eye than the “right” side.


And finally I printed over some previously dyed mustard yellow fabric. The design was inspired by the wallpaper in our lounge and japanese calligraphy. It got more like the calligraphy as I went along

These turned out great!!!
