Hi Hope I am doing this correctly. Not a techie. Breakdown printing is a type of serendipitous screen printing. It is so much fun. You spread thickened dye on a silk screen and lt it dry. Then you put print paste or other thickened dye and squeegee it onto fabric. Have to batch it like all dyed fabrics. There are several books or DVD's about it but I think the one by Claire Benn from England is the best. I am sure you can buy it on Amazon and if you do some dyeing already you should have no problem with it. Button girl
