hey chris found another ref pic. btw the silk is on it's way
Your site for ordering decals seems to be down.... Dang... are you still selling them?
Hi!! I´m interested in your Winchester chest tattoos. Are you still selling them?
I wanted to share these photos because I was surprised this worked!
A fellow SSFer is working with me on a project where we need to get artwork onto real silk. They sent me some material to test, and I naturally assumed at the temperature needed to achieve a proper bond would destroy/melt silk.
To my surprise it went on beautifully. The project is not Supes based, I just used a test transfer to see if it could work. Just wanted to share in care anyone has any ideas about something they are trying to do but not sure how to approach it.
Ok everyone, very excited with the final on these. I bought a few blank, black bandanas this morning. This material as you know is much, much thinner than a cotton shirt which works perfect for this project. It allows it to bunch up nicely around the bottom.
The actual prints are done on a professional quality roland heat transfer material using solvent inks. This is the same process a shirt shop would use for shirt runs where silk screening is not needed.
I permanently pressed the transfers onto the material using the same kind of heat press that shirt shops use, the bond is permanent and bubble free. The transfer material, even when applied to a garment can be stretched with the fabric and will not crack or tear. I have been able to stretch an applied transfer to around 3x it's original size with no issues, it's top shelf stuff.
I did a small run tonight and wanted to share the pricing and ordering information.
The price per bandana is: $30 shipped worldwide and includes paypal fees. My paypal is: [email protected]
The included shipping is going to be your basic, postal option, no tracking etc. If this is something you need expedited, that will be a fee you are responsible for.
Since these are ready to go, there is no need for a formal sign up list. Feel free to go ahead and make a payment. If you want to avoid shipping delays, please make sure your board name and correct shipping info is included in the paypal transaction.
There are 2 options you guys can ask for on these:
1) Shipped flat and unfolded
2) Permanent press crease (see images). This is nice because you won't have to pinch your folds by hand.
Your folding option must be indicated in your payment notes, otherwise you will be shipped an unfolded version.
All you will need to do is twist the edges and tie a small knot around the back of the head. If your figure head is any larger than Arnie here you can easily stretch the bandana out a little to give some more reach. It helped me to use needle nose pliers to tighten the back.
The edges are not hemmed, I wanted these to have the ability to fray a little bit. When they arrive, there will be little to no fray, as they are brand new. With some handling you can get that nice natural fray to start to show.
As mentioned these are in hand and can ship in less than 24 hours of payment received.
There is no need to PM me prior to ordering, just go for it. If you have any questions just let me know.
Thanks!
