#solar printing

[ciriceart]

Throwing off sparks — My best friend visited for the weekend from across the country and we tried our hands at different types of solar printing - first with a turmeric solution and second with solarfast. Solarfast continues to be my enemy (haven’t had a single print turn out so far) but at least now I have some cool textured and toned paper to work on.

Anyway here’s my hand.

Sun printing is great fun, no two are the same. I use these backgrounds in my sun print embroidery kits, and thought you might like to see the process. You can either have a go yourself or buy one of my kits and make yourself some art. It is easy, and suitable for beginners.

im forget about one thing, after your fabric completely dry, soak and wash with bathsoap or any shampoo, to release the remaining dye, and fix the pattern.

Good Luck !
