You don't have to waste time trying to figure out what to use and how. You can just go look at your samples and pick one. So smart. <br /><br />As for the "mystery sample" my guess is something to do with texture magic? Maybe you put it on some sort of shiny space age looking fabric? I bought some of that years ago and have yet found a use for it. <br /><br />Thank you for the ink demo. I also have some inks in my drawer that I have yet to play with. Mostly because I have no idea how to use them. Now I have a clue :-)quiltedfabricarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036237963134480179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340919082867274863.post-51315453299608987322016-01-09T07:17:58.733-05:002016-01-09T07:17:58.733-05:00Great work and documentation.

I didn't have any problem with bleeding, running, etc. <br />These are great samples you did and shared with us!!

I say appears as I haven't experimented with it on lots of fabrics but it is certainly successful on cotton. <br />Sadly it only comes in black,red and blue but of course the black is very useful.<br /><br />As to the mystery I don't know what your sample is but I have a very similar one which is the inside of a crisp(chip) packet after ironing. I treated mine with shoe polish so is a different colour.<br />A very interesting post.

For precise painting as in a flower, i will use it much less watered down. i like your tests and samples results, thanks for sharing with us your results . that takes time to document.sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879764714948869488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340919082867274863.post-1271931075735798712016-01-08T14:00:09.183-05:002016-01-08T14:00:09.183-05:00thanks for sharing your tests.
