Here are a a few more examples of the transfer paint exploration:
 |
| The paper was crumpled before painting ... very dark ... a surprise when you look at the results below ... |
 |
| on white polyester lining |
 |
| on net curtaining |
 |
| this paper illustrates that you get a reverse print |
 |
| dark and gloomy ... but, look below |
 |
| fabric: old polyester blouse ... see tucks |

Caution: dyes are powdered and need to be handled with care: wear a mask and work in a well ventilated area. You will get some interesting and unique fabric prints.
This technique is involved and probably best done with a group of friends so that you can get a variety of colours and share the cost of the dyes. It can be messy ... be sure to cover areas with plastic. This is not a technique where you can easily control the results. It is more like serendipity!
