my recent discovery



Okay. I know that "laser print on fabric" techniques have been floating around for some time now, but I just tried this freezer paper method and I.Am.So.Thrilled.

I love the feeling that comes when you try a new technique and then excitedly calculate all the ways you can incorporate it into your art.

Here is a recent set of ATCs I created for a fabric & beaded card swap. My new fabric "label" is top left.

Yay me! :)

  • Wonderful pieces! You can do this with ink jet printers as long as you don't plan on washing the piece.

  • Those are beautiful! I love the label too. It is so awesome to try something new and have it come out so perfect.

    I have had nothing but trouble with this technique and my HP (ink jet) it clogs up everytime. Drives me nuts.

  • I did my first Bubble Jets yesterday too...you have to soak the fabric (any all cotton fabric, plain or dyed) in the Bubble Jet, then let it dry and iron it on freezer paper. Print, let it set for 30 minutes and then rinse with soap for 2 minutes and dry again. I did 20 8 1/2 x 11 sheets to use as backs for fabric postcards I'm making. Aimee needs a new printer! Kelli
