Fabulous video . . . I must give this a try. You didn't mention heat setting the color within the fabric after it is dry, but I'm guessing you don't need to because the sun has done that for you!? I love the chip tray paint pallet idea--very clever (the condiment bottles too). Thanks much!

Can I ask if it can work without sunlight? If you leave it in a lit room will it work?

I have made some sun prints inside placing my fabic under a full spectrum light to see how it would work. While the process does happen it is very soft and subtle instead of dark and vibrant. If you have a work station by a window that the sun shines in you will have a slightly better effect.

The fabric will feel a little stiff when it dries in the sun, but once you wash your fabric it will feel like normal. It can make a difference with the type of paint you use, or if your ration of paint to water is a bit more towards paint.

which colour you used?

Very interesting technique. I tried this on 100% cotton t-shirts but so far the results are not like yours: I even washed the shirt to remove any sizing. I'm thinking it just works well with cotton other than the cotton used in t-shirts? 🤔

@LadybugsCabin

Жыл бұрын

If your shirts are 100% cotton the technique should work. How long did you leave the out in the sun? You may need to let them sit longer even after they are dry. I'll see if I can find some cotton shirts and do a little test too. :) Just curious...What did you place in between the layers of your shirt?

I did a single color printing on a white t-shirt and was able to get it print. So I'm thinking that the soft body acrylic might be the main difference.

@@LadybugsCabinOh wow! Thanks for getting back to me. I did try some other acrylic paints thinned with water, and it worked quite well. I will try the Liquitex. Also, I'm wondering if it might work under a heat press that's raised just high enough above the fabric or shirt. The scientific principle is capillary action. I looked this up after realizing that it is not actually using ultraviolet light from the sun, but radiant heat. Thanks for your follow-up.

Is the cyano chemical already in the paint?

@LadybugsCabin

Doing this technique on fabric doesn't require the chemical...I think iit has more to do with the wicking of moisture from the heat of the sun from the ares where there isn't shapes on the fabric vs where there are. Some paints do work better than others, and in my playing I have found the the soft body from Liquitex works great and dries nice and vibrant especially in the hot full sun!

I don't understand.. I orderd a Set of sunprintpaper recently and I thought, that you Neef Special chemical treatment for the paper to make it work. Thats why I orderd Something that is already useable. But you say for fabric I need only fabric coulor? 🤯 Does this also work in paper? :)

@linneanooden4853

That is a different process. That uses the sunlight to chemically change the colorant in the paper. This uses the sun to dry out the fabric which then wicks the water (and color particles) out of the shady areas using capillary action.

If you're talking about the music, the composer designed it that way :)

"BATIK" is a method of dyeing fabric, not a type of fabric. When referring to a "Batik" as a fabric it means the fabric (whatever kind it was) has already been dyed and therefore overdyeing may not produce a desirable effect. It is not clear what you meant in your comment, but it appears as if you meant "Batik" as a "Type" of fabric...such as cotton, silk, wool, etc. ba·tik (bə-tēk′, băt′ĭk) n. 1. a. A method of dyeing a fabric by which the parts of the fabric not intended to be dyed are covered with removable wax. b. A design that is created by this method. 2. Fabric dyed by this method.

@LadybugsCabin

A clear and comprensive definition. I do use the term 'batik' to also describe the look of the fabric you can create with this method without having to go through the process of melting and applying wax. And I do sunprinting on fabrics that have been through the process of batik. Hope you experiment too! Have a wonderful day :)
