Today I used sublimation papers to cut up, create resists and print onto fabric. I used polyester cotton for this as I felt that this was the most suitable, it was stiff enough but also draped ok and obviously contained polyester so that the sublimation process could work. I used freezer paper and other papers to resist areas, carrying on the idea of negative space.
I also printed on the polyester knits from the domestic, using plastics to fuse on top of this to then able me to cut out shapes from this using a craft knife. (shown in video below)
This makes me think that I could use the laser cut fabrics (that is booked for the near future) to resist and then apply the print on to the other fabric. I will fulfil this idea after the laster cutting session.
I am visiting York tomorrow for a family trip which means my whole weekend will be busy meaning that I will not get anything done, I was hoping to get further with my research report but I know that this is not realistic. I am going to have to make time of this in the week.
