Learned how to Scean print Devore the other day a technique using nasty chemicles it was fun. I thought it could be a good technique use with my structure. Credit where credit is due. The workshop was held by Kay at Harrogate College Fashion Dept.

All the fabrics came from Waleys in Bradford the devore paste eats the cellulose fibres but not the protien.
