![]() Gene commented on the Tuesday post about doing a Color Magnet tutorial. No need! There are several really good tutorials around the web on using this product. Before I share the list I will share some personal tips/observations. 1. I like this product best for screen printing. You get really sharp and crisp images. I think it was developed primarily for screen printing. It will work with stamping and stenciling but it will require a little more practice. 2. The magnet properties are really strong and it keeps working during the first rinse and even sometimes through the first wash. I generally washout my dyed fabrics with all colors together but when I use Color Magnet I do the first wash with like colors only. The magnet will continue to pick up loose dyes from the water so you have to be careful. Here are some tutorials to get you started. Videos from Jacquard, the makers of the product: Immersion Dyeing with CM Using the Color Magnet Pen with a stencil Color Magnet with Discharge Chemicals Other tutorials: Screen Printing Tutorial from Artistic Artifacts Stenciling Color Magnet from Dharma Trading Stamping Color Magic with Tjaps from Dharma Trading I hope you will give it a try. I love this product. It's so easy to use and I love the effects.

I hadn't heard of this product until you talked about it. It certainly seems to give good results, at least when you play with it! 12/21/2018 08:14:58 am
After making the comment, I looked at the Dharma site and saw a couple of tutorials there. But it was great of you to compile a list for your readers - like me- who are considering trying it. Comments are closed.
