Design is to break the rules, and to try something new.
The excitement of creativity often comes from
the unknown and unexpected result through experiments.
I am glad to get the chance to explore more technique
of designing textile in this semester.
Although in average I can only execute a kind of technique in
one lesson,
the knowledge I gained is permanent:

1. FullingA Process that increases the thickness and compactness
of woven or knitted WOOL by
subjecting it to moisture, heat, friction, and pressure until
shrinkage is achieved.
Team work: A cape with geometric pattern
2. Burn outApplying printing paste containing disperse dyestuff
for dyeing cellulose fiber (e.g. cotton),
resulting in a burn-out pattern on the textile after
heat-treating.
First trial:A graphic of rabbit in Alice in Wonderland theme,
printing dyestuff applied through screen

Second trial:
70 cm x 70 cm
Burn-outDisperse dyestuff is brushed through a stencil with
kaleidoscope-like pattern. After
heat-treatment, the textile is rubbed to remove the burn-out
material. The textile is thendyed with yellow and in gradient
change into red, creating a style of southern-east leisure
mood.

3. Metallic fabric designMetallic outUsing strings, ropes and
elastic band, the original metallic fabric is folded and tied
together with some wood chopsticks and blocks. It is then put
into hot alkaline for 5 8 minutes to remove the metallic surface.
After rinsing, the metallic fabric is dipped and
boiled in different colours of dye to achieve the resulting
color. Those areas that is tightlytied is covered fromalkaline soup
andtherefore not beingcoloured in the laterstage.Here using
differentfolding methods
combining with variousshape of blocks, andthen dipping the
fabricin dyestuff in differentangles createsinteresting effect
onthe fabric.

4. Laser EngraveTwo different pictures for desired graphic is
prepared before using laser treatment, one
for applying on chiffon and one for denim. There are a few key
points to note whileapplying laser treatment:
i. As chiffon is thin and sheer, laser beam can easily cut
through it, thus it is hardto create a gradient of cutting
depth.
ii. The picture prepare for laser cutting chiffon should be in
black and white only andlines are separated into dots for a
continuous line effect.,
iii. Grey gradient is applicable in applying laser treatment on
denim since it is thicker.Shades can be created.
iv. The resulting color of print depends on the nature of
materials. For example, denimcontaining fibres that becomes char
easily may result in a yellowish print.

5. Transfer printingPigment in form of coloring pastes/water
color is brushed onto a piece of newspaper.After dried, the
newspaper which contains the color is put onto the fabric and
togetherheat pressed in 200C for 30 seconds. Otherwise, a digital
diagram is printed on transfer
paper. Some variations of designs come from the placement of
transfer printing sheet.It may be cut or tear randomly, or used
repeatedly to generate a blurred effect.
