Prints on Fabric


I've printed one of my digital images on two different fabrics for printers.  The print on the left is on 100% Cotton Poplin by Color Textiles Inc.  The print on the right is on Premium Cotton Satin Inkjet Fabric Sheets by EQ Printables.

Each print was left to dry overnight and it was probably 24 hours before I washed them.  The printing on the Color Textiles wasn't as vivid as the EQ Printables fabric.  Also, after washing, there was a slight noticeable muddying of the color on the Color Textiles fabric unlike the EQ Printables fabric.  I'm more satisfied with the latter, even though I'm going to continue experimenting.

Has anyone had similar or different experiences?  If you'd care to share your knowledge, please consider making a comment!

Final Wheel-throw Pottery Batch

With this batch, I have 73 successful wheel-thrown pots and bowls...wow!  That is aside from the nearly 40 fails.  So over four months of classes and practice, I've thrown over 110 vessels.  Florian Gadsby would be proud...as I've completed my first 100 throws that he advises getting done as soon as one can!  I owe some of my learning to him and his videos (on YouTube), and the rest to the instructors, staff and students at BHC (the place I've done my work at since June).  Thank you to all my teachers -- meaning all of you in one way or another!

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.
