Experimenting with Evolon and Lutradur

I have been experimenting with Lutradur and Evolon for the past little while but this time I have been using transfer paints and crayons rather than paints and dyes that I have been using before.

The above picture is transfer dyes with peacock feathers as a resist on Evolon. It has turned out really well.
This is Evolon again but this time the base colour was a second print from the transfer paints and on top I took prints from a couple of rubbing plates using transfer crayons.

This one is Evolon again with transfer paints and waste threads as a resist. I have had these paints and crayons for years and they are still working well. Although I used this technique many years ago on polyester fabric this is my first attempt with Evolon.

I love this piece. It's Lutradur. I took one print and then a second from the same piece of painted paper. I use computer paper as it's not as porous as others.

This is Evolon again but this time the two prints are from rubbings using transfer crayons.

This is Lutradur and transfer paints. These colours are very rich but you can get them paler if you want by taking a second print.

Evolon and transfer crayons.


This is Evolon it's nice and pale as the base was a second print from a painted paper. I used Punchinella (sequin waste) as a resist this time. You just have to be careful because the sequin waste will melt under the iron. I wasn't too happy with how the Evolon reacted to heat, I prefer Lutrador for that, however I think these will make great backgrounds for further stitch.
