Transfer Printing 2

Still playing with the transfer paper, and making more samples for my ‘Transforming with Media’ exercise in Module 1.

Using the same print as before – chalk and charcoal filter – I ironed it onto calico.

Charcoal Xpandaprint was added to highlight some areas.

Free machined using a wide zig zag and rayon thread with a loose tension into the Xpandaprint and other areas. Used the Embellisher to catch down snippets of black organza which were then machined into.


Whole piece coated with watered down gesso.

When dry a layer of blue Quink writing ink was applied.

Then of course, I couldn’t resist it – I added bleach!

I find some of these close up photos fascinating.

For some reason the colour sometimes alters when I take photos at very close range, but occasionally they still look good.
