Hello! Here's Karolina from www.Drycha.com
If You haven't seen my video about Inktense - start there.
I'm telling there what are Inktense and why I love them.
What's important to understand this video
- Inktense is ink in pencils.
Ink in form of watersoluble pencil or block,
and wet colors are permanent after drying.
It means that You can make multiple layers on the paper
without mixing them.
But ot's possible to color on other surfaces too :)
You can color on silk or cotton.
I was curious
if Washpapa colored with Inktense can stand washing?
I had sheet 50x100cm (around 20x40inches)
with print or flowers.
It's my design :)
Do You remember 3rd Eye? Yes! I made stamps with these designs.
I made color palette on my sketchbook
and there was nothing else than coloring!
For coloring I chose blocks, because
it's faster than pencils in this case of large area.
I colored with dry blocks. I didn't cover the surface completely,
because I didn't want colors to be too dark.
I got the desired colors during adding water.
Washpapa is paper which You can sew and wash.
Washpapa is cellulose impregnated with latex.
I hope that latex don't make color wash off of the surface.
One big unknown.
I painted on Washpapa with many mediums but painting and washing it is different.
After I painted 1/3 or 1/4 of this sheet
I decided that I can't color it further if Inktense might wash off...
I would possibly cry if all these colors would
wash off afters hours of coloring.
Washing it is then!
Fast washing - 30min, 1400rpm.
It was VERY STRESSFUL!
Would be a shame if Inktense were not good for Washpapa.
What's the result??
Here's washed Washpapa!
It's more elastic than when it's dry
Marysza told about it in her article.
IT WORKED! :D
It worked :)
Maybe color is a little more pale
I have to admit that I probably didn't dissolve ink well before.
It's harder than on regular paper.
It looks better now.
I let Washpapa dry,
spent another hours on coloring the rest of this sheet
and sent it to PotPot workshop.
PotPot workshop sew cool things from Washpapa!
[Kasia says] We combined two structures.
[K] Structure of Washpapa Aged in "Lapis Blue" shade
[K] with structure of Washpapa Standard
[K] colored with ink.
[K] Washpapa Standard is a little harder to sew 'cause it's more more rigid
[K] but You can print on it or paint it.
[K] Washpapa Aged is softer, more elastic, easier to turning inside out
[K] and easier to sew.
[K] Sewing Washpapa colored with Inktense
[K] was ok but
[K] there were some smudges on "lapis blue" washpapa
[K] but it was easy to rub it off with eraser.
[K] Generally idea of coloring Washpapa with
[K] "permanent watercolors" like these is very nice.
[K] It allows You to make Your own design,
[K] to sew totally unique, remarkable,
[K] original, one of a kind object. It can be a purse,
[K] a cosmetic bag.
[K] Washpapa absorbs ink well,
[K] and for sewing it doesn't matter.
[K] Sewing colored Washpapa
[K] is nice.
What's my opinion?
You have to remember that Inktense is not designed for Washpapa,
it's designed to natural materials (silk, cotton)
but as You can see - it works not bad on Washpapa.
I was seriously afraid that Inktense will wash off
because of latex in Washpapa.
I wouldn't use Washpapa colored with Inktense for parts od clothes or accesories
that might affect other items of clothing
but fact that it's possible to paint on
flower pot covers, interior design elements - it is really great!
You can make cool DIY gifts with Washpapa
and coloring them by Yourself will made them way better! :)
I have giveaway for You! :D
