New fabrics


Repeat trialled on paper for "Magnolia Trewithen " and "Blackbird and Euphorbia."

I have been refining designs and creating new ones from my drawings using photoshop to play about with the colour and and the step and repeat programmes to create tiles ready for printing.The one above "Blackbird and euphorbia "shows the original at the bottom amd an inverse image at the top . They were printed onto linen to test the colours .





This has been inversed and then a colour dropped into the background (pale turquoise ) . Some of the colour washed out when printed onto silk viscose but the repeat worked well . This still needs refining but has potential.
