Colourful and pretty for the eyes, this process is one of my favourites. The way to do the process is to use the screen from the screen printing process with the design already in place, and then squeegee the glue on calico and/or paper, clean the screen as well as put the glued materials on a dry rack to dry slightly. When dried to a certain degree, I was to place either flock or foil ontop of the glued material and place it in an industrial heating press. The result, when dried and peeled away, is usually colourful and shiny.
The materials are costly but the process is easy enough.
The outcome, where it can be only flock or only foil is an easy enough process, but doing it both takes time and precision. I did not have time to do both, nor the resources, but I did place one ontop of the other in my sketchbook, just to see what it could have looked like. The result, because of the chosen colours, was amazing.
