Printed bag

My first attempt at using the heat press to print onto a made up item - in this case a cotton canvas bag.

The bag was scoured - mordanted with my print mordant, chalked, washed and dried before being printed with willow herb stems.

The printing is so strong that it bled through a sheet of teflon - I may try it without any barrier next time as bleeding strongly through would be fine - double sided prints.
