    Both of these jobs were completed using transparent vinyl….One went very well the other the complete opposite 😀

    Cheers….Just show the stuff I like 😀
    Problem solving with designers 😀

    The squares are a knitting pattern that relates to the original building and the red is black printed directly onto red transparent….. [couldn’t get a nice solid red printing….]. 😀

    The mactac red was lovely to work with …..the large piece was 9m long and was floated on in 1 section 😕

    i didn’t know mactac did transparent coloured films!

    not including dedicated stained glass film that only comes in 2ft x 18"
    Ive used a good bit of x-film and some oracal but never was 100% on either.
    dont get me wrong they did the job well but had a sort of gummy type adhesive and in some areas there was a sort of dulling of how clear the film was which i think was down to the adhesive. (but im guessing)
    anyway, just curious if your film had any signs of this sort of thing, and did it cut and apply well?
    oh and one last thing, is it a more expensive film than the likes of glass-etch?

    sorry for all the questions… 😕

    mactac 8400 I think………real problems with a different material though, cloudy, not sticking, leaving white marks every time the adhesive was touched etc etc…… 😀
    The mactac 8400? is competitively priced and although we had used it befor it was the first time I had tried printing it….not a great colour choice though 🙂

    No wonder I liked the building the best. It was subliminal.
    I love knitting!
    I also like the colorful shadows.
    Was that intentional or just a happy accident?
    Love….Jill

    Jill I knew it would happen, however it was more of an effect than I thought 😀

    Hi…..just finished the next stage,,,,the transparent vinyl now shines [when sunny !] onto a wallpaper……. also including the knitting pattern.

    Was a pretty tricky job as the pattern remains true 😀 😀

    😳 I’m afraid I can’t take responsibility for the whole design of this…..I just work out how to do it and what material to use 🙂
