There are many ways in which garment decoration trends translate from one medium to the next. After reading Jimmy Lamb’s article on tone-on-tone embroidery, I couldn’t help but think of some exciting ways this concept could apply to decorators that own a heat press and/or a vinyl cutter. If you own a heat press and vinyl cutter, the above article should be an excellent read. When applying the information to your process, think outside the box. A first step would be to incorporate tone-on-tone applications like black on black into your product line. Along with this, you might consider some additional options – like a black reflective or glitter on black. Remember, heat transfer vinyl comes in many styles and many finishes, so let your imagination run wild!
