Experimental, Samples 22, 24&25...


Date
Saturday 3rd November 2012
Fabric/Material
Paper, white thick A4 card.
Dye type/Process
Reactive Manutex Dye and Foil.
Colour Specifics
Yellow MX8G mixed with a Blue MXG to make a green and Cobalt Blue foil.
What worked?
Everything! The colour choice, the positioning of each image, the way the foiling faded and where it faded.
What went wrong and could be improved?
The only problem is that the underneath young image cannot come through the foil which would be more of a problem if James’ face was covered.
Notes
 
Sample Number
Sample 22

Date
Saturday 3rd November 2012
Fabric
Cotton Organdie
Dye type
Reactive Manutex dye with flock print.
Colour Specifics
Olive Mx3G was the reactive dye colour powder and I used a dark brown flock.
What worked?
The colours used are earthy and relate well with each other. Using cotton organdie as the fabric gives this sample texture and depth. Even though the colours work well together, the olive colour was patchy.
What went wrong and could be improved?
The flock print must not have had enough glue put down because the bottom area of the flock print was faded and irregular; the facial features did come out perfectly proportioned and evenly flocked.
Notes
I have not washed this sample so it is a bit rough still. I have not washed this sample because of the material used, I think the colour will just washed right out of it.
Sample Number
Sample 23-Jessica

Date
Saturday 3rd November 2012
Fabric/Material
A4 white thick card with a print on top on the fabric called Cambridge Cotton Voile.
Dye type/Process
Reactive Manutex Dye with a print on top using foiling.
Colour Specifics
An Olive Mx3G reactive coloured dye with an aubergine foiling on top.
What worked?
Because the top print using foil is grainy the underneath print can be seen clearly through even though the foiling is a darker colour. The prints have come out strong, both of them together make a strong combination, using my little brother’s stencils to become prints have always worked from the beginning of this project. 
What went wrong and could be improved?
As I left the print drying on newspaper some of it has come of onto the sample and it cannot be removed, this has ruined the sample as a whole.
Notes
These prints were photographed shining through a window, to show a certain way of presenting them.
Sample Number
Sample 24-James
