Stamping on Satin?
Hello all, me again!
I picked up some white satin gloves CHEAP ($2 a pair) from the wedding aisle at WalMart this week, thought it'd be fun to try some projects with them. I have a couple in mind, but I'm not sure which inks would work best. I don't have a pair in front of me, but they may be the nylon-satin-stuff they use. I have at my disposal some Adirondack inks, Ranger Archivals, Fresco chalks, and a few miscellanious odds and ends, as well as art inks, pigment ink pads, daubers (pigment), and your basic generic dye inks. And I do have a couple of fabric ink pads, but they're bright colored, and I want to go antiqued look--it's hard to find anything "antiqued" or muted in fabric inks, unfortuntately. Any suggestions? Do you think tea/coffee staining them for aging would work well? Thank you! K/B |

I'm not sure you'll get great results on satin - I'd imagine the weave would encourage dye-inks to bleed. You might try Colorbox Crafters' ink or some other heat-setting pigment-based ink which would be likely to stay put better. Heat carefully; if they're synthetic, they may melt. Any suggestions? Do you think tea/coffee staining them for aging would work well? You could try, but don't be surprised if the stain washes right out. Cheap synthetics are basically plastic, and it's hard to get them to dye evenly. -- Pat Kight |
