but using the big thick block ones will definitely help prevent warping
That's the warped one, though. Having all that backing that expands and dries at a different rate was pretty much what made the warping happen. I have other problems with the thinner lino, but not warping.
T-shirt isn't my end game so much as lino cuts are my end game. If I can do fabric decoration as well cards, paper, incorporation into lineart pictures, etc. Also has a much lower overhead than screen printing, which I enjoy doing, but is fussy and messy as all hell.
I'd have to experiment with the needle/compasses on lino, but I'm pretty sure they'd be a great idea for the softer media. GREAT CALL. Thank you.
You're welcome. It's weird, I never had any problems with the thick ones, but the sheets with just the harder under-surface would buckle on me. Maybe I bear down too much?
I would imagine that the ink they use for silk screening could be rolled out over a lino block for printing on fabric. Might have to experiment with the viscosity/tackiness, I don't know.
Another possibility would be getting fabric glue to the consistency of usable ink and then dusting it with glitter or similar before it dries.
I've always got fabric paint around somewhere. It's not as sticky as the waterbased lino ink (I can't bear the thought of the solvents for the oil-based, so water it is) I have, but if I watch how much I'm loading the brayer, hopefully I should be okay. I'm not thinking of pictures with fiddly white space, but I do want to get the main shapes (the silhouettes I was talking about in SPN) as recognisable as possible (Abandon All Hope is my next shot for good long shots).
Have you guys heard of Neighborhood Fiber Co? The colorways are named after places where the dyer has lived - most recently in Baltimore.
I've been watching a show on The Sundance Channel, called The Writer's Room, which is great, and next week's episode (airing Monday at 10pm Eastern) is the writers of American Horror Story including Tim!
So, I did not know about this real-life interracial New England couple who said they were abducted by aliens in 1961. [link]
So, AHS, actually a documentary?
Weren't Betty and Barney Hill pretty much the people that started the whole trope of alien abduction?
