As far as the dye not deconstructing, you don't want to start with dye that is too thick. I'd rather get 3 good prints than a batch that have missed the mark. The dye on the foam core screen was THIN and the outcome was awesome! I considered that screen a "throw-away" since it was just the last dregs of the thickened dye but the prints were a great (pleasant) surprise.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-50834601245179195192014-12-12T09:36:11.299-05:002014-12-12T09:36:11.299-05:00these look great!

Gorgeous snow though :-) For batching, I am experimenting with putting the carefully bagged fabric between the sheets in my bed during the day with my electric blanket turned up. (Another advantage of living in a cold place.)Cris Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705297692537794245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-15142227392507349612014-12-12T08:18:07.478-05:002014-12-12T08:18:07.478-05:00After making a few screens following your directio...After making a few screens following your directions, I finally got<br /> to printing yesterday. I found that the thick areas of dye (maybe <br />too extensive) never started to 'deconstruct' before all the rest <br />of the dye was gone. I had a 'what if' moment and tried screening <br />clean print paste onto the fabric before laying down the screen<br /> to deconstruct. This resulted in a very blurry print, so if this<br /> 'What if" has occurred to you, I'd avoid that. I'm waiting for my<br />fabric to "batch" in my cold house. Anyone got advice on how<br /> long I should wait?chemistafloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597012907286779658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-29493755345369503722014-12-12T08:17:08.982-05:002014-12-12T08:17:08.982-05:00Love these!
