TRish do you iron it while wet?

thanks again dear one,

grace

Grace, When you use the shaving cream it is practically dry right away so you can iron it right away. Usually you would wait until it air dries and then iron it. Trish

Dear Trish HOW did you learn how to do ?this what is the technique called? Where did you get the dyes? Would it work on silk? I am a silk painter and spin silk too, see my photo album at: picasaweb dot google dot com slash halalsilks I would love to expand my silk painting to do something like this. Can you tell I am excited? I really am!! Where do you get the stabilizer Brand? many many thanks,grace

[trishstuart]

The technique has been around forever. You can use it on silk. no it doesn't leave a gummy residue.You can wash it, but make sure you heat set it first. It does tend to lighten the inks a bit. Use it with fabric inks, acrylics, metallics, and dyes. Use freezer paper instead of the stabilizer... it's cheaper. Sulky can be bought at JoAnns or any Huskvarna/Viking Sewing machine dealer in the JoAnns stores. Have lots of fun... so glad you are inspired!

shaving cream? fascinating! I understand the SC is a carrier for your ink, but one question- doesn't the shaving cream leave a thin (gooey) residue on the fabric?
