1 – I think that the most important supply is nice old 100 % cotton sheets from the thrift store.
These high quality old sheets:
- Create a freedom to explore, because they are not precious
- are pre-shrunk and ready to print on
- usually absorb ink/paint nicely
2 – A spongey brayer that fits your print size. I like this 2″ soft foam brayer with a smooth surface (red handle) that I found at hobby lobby. I like this size because I work small and textured. The speedball soft rubber brayers work too.
3 – Ink or paint that stays workable and is compatible with your project and fabric. I did a blog post on my experience, but it is best to experiment on your own.
Other supplies, stencils, mark making tools and the gelatin plate.
