continuare la tyvek / tyvek-further on

In sfarsit pot sa va arat ce am facut cu tyvek-ul din postul anterior: o poseta stil plic la care am atasat un lant auriu.

Finally I can show you what I have done with the piece of tyvek from the previous post: a purse with a golden small chain.

Experiment cu Tyvek / Experimenting Tyvek

Azi a fost randul tyvek-ului. E prima data cand lucrez cu acest material.

Am luat o bucata mai mica si am vopsit-o cu Pebeo setacolor:

It was Tyvek's turn today. It is the first time I have worked with this material.

I took a small piece and I painted it with Pebeo Setacolor.

Dupa ce s-a uscat am pus-o intre doua foi de hartie pentru copt iar apoi am calcat -o incet, fara sa apas prea tare, 3-4 secunde. Temperatura fierului trebuie setata intre bumbac si lana.

After drying it I placed it between two sheets of baking paper and I ironed it gently without pressing too hard, for 3 or 4 seconds. The ironing temperature must be set between cotton and wool.

Tyvek-ul s-a strans, a facut niste mici umflaturi si a devenit mult mai mic.

The tyvek wrinkled, blistered and shrank.

Am taiat bucata de tyvek in 5 bucati mai mici, pe care le-am prins in ace cu gamalie pe o bucata de material mov de fond, pe care, la randul ei am asezat-o pe un material alb mai gros, un fel de intaritura pe care eu o folosesc si la genti.

I cut the ironed tyvek in five smaller pieces which I then pinned on a purple piece of fabric. What resulted I placed on a thicker batting.

Apoi am quiltuit cu free motion, fixand tyvek-ul pe fond, si incercand un fel de broderie libera, ca sa dau o unitate compozitiei:

Then I quilted it with free motion, fixing the tyvek on the background and trying a kind of free embroidery to give unity to the composition.

Deocamdata m-am oprit aici:

I stopped here for now:

Continuarea maine...sper :0))

To be continued tomorrow ...I hope :0))
