Final Piece

On A3 cotton i began to dye my fabric using Procion Dye the same as my A4 sample.
When this was dried i heat pressed this at 180•c for 18 seconds to lock my dye in on the fabric. Once they have dried go straight to the sink and wash the cotton till all excess colour runs out .
Now that its dry i mixed my coloured pigment dye with the puffbinder, i chose to use green with the mixture just right i brought it over next to my screen with the dyed cotton underneath. I began to place the pigment puffbinder at the top if the screen and with the squeegee with pressure on the screen i pulled the paste up and down twice. To complete the repeat pattern i lined the screen again to were the continued line laid and repeated the process.
Next step was taking the final piece over to the heat gun and hovering over to the binder puffed up , once that was done i went over to the Batik(wax) table i began adding the wax to the outlines of my print. To create the resist i applied a green ink wash over so the resist was complete.
