Artwork to Fabric
New page about to be launched. I am trying my hand at transferring my art onto fabric, to make cushions or quilts or wall hangings or just about anything you can make with material.
Apparently you take your picture, get it photocopied, brush on the Dylon Image Maker Transfer cream, roll the picture with mix on it face down on your material, let it dry overnight, next day remove the photocopy, coat the material again with the mix and let it dry, hey presto, one of your own pictures onto fabric.
Possible pictures for new project?
My results
As promised the results of my attempt to transfer one of my pictures to material. It all worked like it said on the mixture and whilst it did transfer the picture rather well I thought, it was not quite what I was looking for. You see I wanted to be able to make the material into say pin cushions or cushion covers or even quilts and this method did not quite do it for me. The end result is rather plasticky and whilst it does bend I am not sure I would want to try sewing it. Still you never know unless you try.
