die waschprobe

Von am 12. Jan. 2009


This is the washing-test required on my last plastic-melting project..:

there’s four patches; two cotton (green) and two synthetic (red), each of them with either
plastic bags and strange silver thing or “gift-wraps” (which i found out is actually called ribbons..)
I washed at 40°C.

update:
there is two kind of ribbons used; the curly, more papery one, and the straight, shiny one.
I had some problems from the beginning attaching the curly one to the fabric, because it only
attaches on the backside, and its quite hard to make it lay straight on the fabric (because its curly..).
And during the wash, it only stayed “glued” on the fabric where the right side is down -of course
it’s still there and you cant see it, but it’s now possible to pick it off
(if you would want to do that..)
-so i’m not sure about the lolly really…
But the shiny one and all the plastic bags stayed good! (like transfer-prints i guess)
