Next sample was Puffbinder
I took my A4 sized piece of Muslin (which is thin like mesh)
I then took the Puff Binder which is a creamy coloured paste, applied 5 almond sized drops on the top of the screen. After the application i dipped my squeegee into the PuffBinder and pulled down and up twice applying pressure then the muslin puff binder was completed. Straight after that was done i used the heat gun which you hover over the cotton this sparks the puff binder to rise creating a brighter raised up screen print.
Further into my experimentation i decided to work with colour puff binder , i went with pink 5BTL pigment dye that gets added in small doses into the puff binder when mixed creates the pink colour that matches the pink i used in my visual sheets. Following the same technique this time on A4 cotton the end product the exact desired effect i wanted. To complete the screen print i hovered the heat gun over the cotton not too close that it burns , but enough till all the puff binder has risen this is then the finished result.
After my success with the other 2 i decided to produce an 4 in 1 sample i started on the A4 piece of cotton dyeing the material. The dye used on the cotton was Procion i used 5 colours Blue, yellow and red which are in the primary colours also green and orange which are secondary. After this had dried i heat pressed it at a 180•c for 18 seconds to lock the colour in to the fabric after that re wash again and leave to dry. When the fabric has dried then place the screen over the fabric ,and with the pigment/Puffbinder mixture pull up and down twice for a thicker coverage on the fabric. Following the sequence i then hovered the heat gun over it till the binder has risen the final 2 steps are batik (wax) with that i applied a layer of Procion over to create the resist.
