2017 Topic 16: Rustification Hello everyone, it's Leandra here with you tonight, before we launch into the new topic, which I sense you are all going to LOVE! Let's see who won the last challenge for the Pearlescent topic! The winner is: Craftyfield from Crafty Endeavours She got on a bit of a roll with challenge entries over the last 2 weeks, and even snuck an entry in at the 11th hour of the challenge deadline! The random number fell on her black and white entry, but all of them were quite different with a touch of pearlescent about them all! Congratulations! Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] So we had no shortage of bloggers wanting to play with rust for the new topic, and that doesn't surprise me, as the whole concept of making things look rusty has been super popular in mixed media circles for the last few years. Whether you are working onto fabrics, wood, metal, even glass, creating a rust patina can be done in all kinds of ways, and in this post I'm going to share a few with you. Please feel free to join in the blog challenge by linking your own creativity at the foot of this post to any of you online social media links. Experiments from Alice Fox onto fabric with objects that can be rusted. There are loads of photos from Alice on Pinterest, it is a good way to get some inspirational ideas of how you could rust fabric... I particularly loved the blog post she shared of an exhibition, the piece below was one on show. It is fascinating how rusty fabric is so popular, yet lots of Artists create their own take and pull together the inspirations in different ways and methods. Jennifer Coyne has created a rust effect by printing onto teabags. You can see the process in this link here, where she took a photo and then extrapolated that onto teabags. She explains on her blog how she stitched it all together to create a much larger print. You will need to follow a few posts on her blog to understand how it all came together! Amazing! As below a work in progress... And then here is the finished piece being exhibited. See here. I also loved discovering about Jule Mallet She also uses her fabrics rusted in all kinds of ways to create a wide range of objects, dimensional and flat! and she makes prints... Even displaying rusty fabric can be done simplistically to great effect. And one of our own designers, Lin Brown, is also a dab hand at rusty fabric too, here is just one photo from her blog, but there are more if you follow the link. I adore how she brings her layers together so perfectly! Charlotte Hupfield, a ceramicist, is inspired by pieces like this rusty panel.... ... to inspire her when creating her ceramic art such as the samples below. Cracks, layers, light and dark. Beautiful! and how amazing is this! Take a bureau, add some paint, tadaaa. Here is our own mixed media specialist at rusting things...or at least, using Frescos to make something look rusty! Nikki Acton is a genius at this, see the details here on her blog. She has many posts using paints to create rusty effects, and the example below is gogeous with thos classic colours of patina and rust! The textured heart allows for shades to play in the light. Totally gorgeous, love the crackles too! Plus she gets loads of Seth Apter stamps and dies in the mix so cleverly! Deb blogged this piece over at Paxton Valley Folk Art , such a beaut using all kinds of products, including metal tape, embossed and coloured, die-cut shapes painted, and the whole frame ebellished. And here is Finnabair with one of her typical layered compositions. The cool thing about this idea, layers of textured objects, is you can apply any colour of paint to your base layer, then create a rust effect from there. This could be purely with paints and stippled layers, tickled with Treasure Gold waxes, or (and I've been wanting to try this for ages) ...how about painting shades of patina blue/greens onto the base, and then applying Rusting Powder?? I'm thinking a base in shades of turquoise-green patina, then you could apply a layer of gel medium, sprinkle all over liberally with rusting powder, tip off the excess. Once the gel is dry, you are then ready to rust the powder by keeping the powder damp for at least one and probably more like 2-3 hours, and of course, the rusty effect will develop. If you add a bit of acid (vinegar) to your water it will speed up the effect, or you could just put the canvas outside and let the natural elements do the work for you over a period of days or even weeks! Another rusty mixed media guru is Laura Bomber. If you check out this blog post she shares how she created all these frames using different painterly techniques. Brenda Brown created another gorgeous piece here with paints, and there are wonderful photos on her blog explaining how she created this. Ruth Mescall is another rust addicted crafter. Check out this post for more ideas. And how cool is this from Sally Mankus!! An acrylic skin with embedded rusty stuff! See here for details! OK, so I could go on and on sharing mixed media rusty things, so let's move on. What about rusted objects? What can you find in a local dump, on the side of the road or have you got a stash of hidden objects in the corner of your garden with some rusted treasures? Not sure you will have any of these to hand, but they are nice to look at! A typesetter... Corrugated iron always rusts to perfection! We actually have one of these rusting here on the farm...a newer version though, so not quite as 'pretty' as this! Old train... A sewing machine! (*shocked face*) or maybe you have loads of these lying about?? Finally some art, the layers of peeling and cracked paint always has massive appeal to me, I could fill any room with this type of creation, I love the colours and this style of abstract art. How hard can it be to do something like this ..worth a go I reckon! So as I said at the outset, no shortage of ideas for this topic! I think you're going to enjoy yourselves! I know our bloggers have! Wait to you see what they have been up to ober the coming 2 weeks!.... Have fun! ~ Leandra Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's Pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks! We hope that you learn something interesting from our blog.

Transfer is sized for an adult shirt This is not a finished shirt, you are purchasing the transfer only. SUBLIMATION: These are printed and ready to press with a heat press. Each order will come with pressing instructions. These MUST be pressed on a minimum of 50% polyester blend. 100% polyester works the best to get the brightest colors. Anything less than a 60% polyester count is going to be faded and have a vintage look. You must have a heat press in order to utilize these, a house iron will not work. These will dye the fabric and leave no texture or feel at all where the design is placed. These transfers do not print white at all. If there is white in the image it will become the color of the shirt you put it on. If you put it on a white shirt it will look just like my image if you put it on a gray shirt it will be gray. The garment you are pressing must be a light color as these will dye the fabric. NO BLACK You can use a heather grey as well as pink and any other light colored polyester tops. I do not except returns on transfers.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers are full-color heat-applied transfers for light and dark garments. No weeding or masking is required and DTF transfers can be applied to cotton, cotton/poly blends, and even 100% polyester. Simply press and go! All you need is a heat press! DTF Transfer Application Instructions 1. Preheat the garment for 15 seconds to remove excess moisture. Let the garment cool before adding the transfer. 2. Place the transfer on the shirt white side down, image facing up. 3. Press at 325F for 15 seconds under very firm pressure. 4. Remove the garment from the press and let it stand until it is warm enough to peel. 5. Peel warm or cool. 6. Cover the image with parchment paper and press again for 15 seconds. You can use a Teflon sheet, butcher paper, or tissue paper. ***Please note: If the image does not come off completely, repress with the image in place, let it cool, and re-peel the film.

Did you ever put white HTV on a red shirt or other surface only for the HTV to turn pink or press a shirt only to be left with a giant pressing mark? Those are known as dye migration and heat press marks. Heat Transfer Vinyl can do this..and it's intensified the higher the heat and the longer the press. This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. Today I'm sharing the easiest way to avoid lasting pressing marks and dye migration with HTV. Both dye migration and heat press marks are caused by applying heat and pressure to certain color surfaces. Neon HTV and certain dark color surfaces such as red, blue, or black intensify the dye migration. You likely won't notice it right away, but over time you'll see the dye migration come through. Higher temperatures and longer press times can also make the dye migration and press marks worse. Sometimes dye migration shows as small spots like this...which is sometimes mistaken for mildew. Other times the ink of a darker surface will sort of show through a lighter color HTV...which is why you may get a pink-toned HTV when you apply white onto a red surface. One way to reduce both dye migration on heat transfer vinyl and pressing marks is to lower the temperature and reduce the press time. But how do you do that when the HTV requires a certain temperature and press time to get a good press? Usually that heat press mark fades, but sometimes it's still visible. I often see people suggesting the only way to get rid of it is to press the entire shirt or towel so the color changes across the entire surface. The answer is you use an HTV like Thermoflex Turbo or Subliblock Turbo which can be applied at a lower temperature for a very short amount of time. Both Thermoflex Turbo and Thermoflex Subliblock Turbo only require the heat to be at 270 degrees for 5 seconds. The lower temperature helps prevent or extremely limit the heat press marks. That makes ThermoFlex Turbo, which comes in a 31 colors, great for colored cotton, uncoated polyester, fabric blends and even spandex and lycra. Subliblock Turbo is specifically for performance polyesters like moisture wicking sports tanks. It comes in eight colors - specifically neons - which are prone to dye migration as shown above. The low heat and quick press discourage dye migration (as well as heat press marks). Note: This post may contain affiliate links.

Standard heat transfer vinyl isn’t designed for use on sublimated polyester. If you apply regular HTV to a sublimated garment, you may experience “dye migration.” Dye migration is when the sublimation inks in the garment bleed into the heat transfer vinyl and change the color of the HTV. EasyWeed Sub Block is specially formulated to block most dye migration and leave you with a crisp finished product! EasyWeed Sub Block is ideal for the popular digital camo and motocross jerseys! You can even layer other Siser® materials on top to create a more colorful look!
