Guest Vesta Abel demonstrated this project.
Materials:
cotton or blend T-shirt
Magic Mould or other reheatable foam block
foam sheet
Arthur Baker Calligraphy fish stamp
Arthur Baker Calligraphy Sayings
heat-set fabric ink pads
heat tool
iron
laser paper
Steps:
1. Iron T-shirt until smooth.
2. Place foam sheet inside shirt where you plan to stamp designs. Set aside.
3. Heat Magic Mould block with a heat tool until soft, approximately 30 to 40 seconds.
4. Quickly press design onto the foam block (figure A).
5. Using a well-inked heat-set ink pad, tap color all over foam block (figure B).
6. Crumple up a piece of laser paper and use it to randomly remove some of the ink from the block to create a batik look.
7. Stamp the inked block onto the T-shirt (figure C).
8. Cover the stamped area with a sheet of laser paper and iron to heat-set.
9. Directly apply word stamps around the edges of the "batik" design (figure D).
10. Iron to heat set.
Tips: If the design does not turn out well on the Mould, simply reheat and stamp again. Clean Magic Mould directly under running water.
