I’ve painted with Tulip paints before, and I’m a working artist and have loved art from an early age, but this is the first time I’ve painted a more substantial picture on textile. It’s been a great experience so far, but I want to make sure I hear set this correctly when it’s finished. It’s a punk-style Stranger Things jacket. I made it from an Old Navy non-stretch unisex denim jacket, and painted the back panel with Jacquard paints. The lettering, scattered white matter, Morse code on bottom hem, and vines on the side panels are Tulip. I haven’t painted the front yet—there will be no Jacquard on the front, only some Tulip piping on a few panels. I also have patches that will go on the front. Some are iron-on, and some are not.
Any further advice on setting the paint or applying the patches is much appreciated. Thanks so much for the invite here:)
OMG, I love thiiiss. What imagination.. How did it go after wash, may i ask?
Meghann, this is fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing your work here, this is exactly the type of creativity boom we're looking forward to welcome here.
The work is so thought through, evidently that you're a seasoned artist. Your vision for the project is whole, you're not limiting it to a single painted area on the back. This is a mixed media fabric art, which raises the value of a project. And of course the details make it a full fledge fan art 🔥
The fact that you shared pictures of the project, calls for additional notes about heat setting of paint.
Earlier in YouTube comments you mentioned that you used Tulip fabric paint, however only now I am able to see, that you seem to have used a dimensional paint, not a regular one? These have different heat setting requirements, so please confirm am I seeing it right?
