Piles of Prints on Fabric

I believe the more prints I make, the better they get. With each print I learn something about

  • Layering
  • Texture
  • Color
  • inks
  • printing surfaces or
  • composition

I brought that stack of prints to the local laundromat to heat set the inks – 45 minutes in a hot commercial dryer. Then I stopped by the local thrift store and gathered up a few more big pieces of white fabric.

No matter how many pieces of fabric I tear to size and iron, I always need more. I like to work up 4 or more prints at a time.

  1. Oh what I great tip! I didn’t know you could heat set ink that way and have often wondered how to stop my images smudging so much when I print on fabric.
