Advanced Print Stuff

Had an exciting Monday, we learnt lots of new things about printing and did a million and one samples of them.
We did...
Varying strengths of Discharge paste (strongest at the top)

(This is varying strengths of discharge on silk that's been dyed with a DS acid green and an IL acid purple. The IL acid doesn't discharge out so the green gets removed to leave the purple)

Flocking - this is all furry and nice :)

Pigment discharge and Illuminating discharge - the yellow is pigment discharge where the discharge removes the colour to leave the yellow, the white is the illuminating discharge where the same thing happens

We also did metallics and pearls but they didn't turn out so well - they were quite pale colours on white and quite hard to see so the photograph didn't look like anything.
I'm actually quite excited to start playing with them, I really want to use the flocking for something but I dont think furry fish will work somehow...
