Devore velvet experiments!

Today I had a bit of play with velvet and fibre etch or Devore paste. I've had this stuff for a while, a couple of years in fact but have never got round to having a proper muck about with it. So I went for it on fabrics from Dionne Swift who makes beautiful inspiring Devore textiles, and from George Weil.

Devore paste
Apply the fibre etch devo paste on the verse of the velvet, and open a window, apparently it's a bit toxic...

 

I dipped the sample into dyes and put a bit of red silk paint in a few of the circles first. The colours are really vibrant on the velvet.
