Adding color pigments or acrylic paint to it the medium carries and fixes the pigments to the surface. In this case, to the textile. What brand you use is depending where you live. I live in Switzerland and I use a CHT product. If you live in the US, there is a transparent base extender from Speedball or an another one from ProChem. (http://www.prochemicalanddye.com/product.php?productid=16424&cat=377&page=1)<br />These are acrylic products and they make the fabric stiffer but a good quality base extender can be screened on the surface to create a much finer coating than with a brayer. Is this information enough for you? <br />Beatabeatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683130364126067060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-8674197852532725052014-11-30T11:32:28.369-05:002014-11-30T11:32:28.369-05:00I've been doing some of this, using textured s...I've been doing some of this, using textured surfaces that I <br />found around the house. I used textile paint and applied it<br /> to the fabric (stretched over the textured surface) with a brayer. <br />That was moderately successful although the hand of the fabric<br />was not so great. To get a softer fabric, I tried some<br /> thickened dye using the brayer--remarkably unsuccessful! I like<br /> the idea of the transparent base extender…Now it's just <br />figuring out what that is and where to get it.chemistafloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597012907286779658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-69323381514697779622014-11-29T09:33:07.964-05:002014-11-29T09:33:07.964-05:00Great blog post and it will be food for me while I...Great blog post and it will be food for me while I work on a small book of surface design this weekend.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.com
