Final Piece

For my final piece I used an A3 piece of Devore Silk Viscose. I did my print firstly in Devore Paste, using it to create a repeat pattern. The only problem with this was the Devore paste didnt show up very well on the fabric so it was hard to line it up, but I got it near enough. I then left it to dry, pressed it and rinsed it. While wet I dyed the fabric with watered down Procion Red MX5B and Turquoise MXG. I left this to dry, then printed my design again but slighty to the side of the other one in Pigment Violet blue 2BTL, again repeating the pattern, this was easier as the Violet Blue showed up more making it easier to line up the pattern to make it a repeat. I was very happy with my final outcome, but if given chance to do it again I would try and line up the designs more evenly so they are more clear to see.
