I've been developing my initial design ideas onto a larger scale and really thinking about composition and the though process behind them. The first ones are quick sketches of potential designs I can progress onto into either the print room or digitally. I tried to have a equal amount of different types of compositions such a ribbon, posy and cascade. Thinking about designing them in my sketch book first will also help me in the print room as I will know exactly where I want the motifs instead of just going with the flow and wasting time.
. I planning to do some hand designs in paint and collage to accompany the fabric designs but do these on paper so I have a assorted range of samples. I've also seen that the print room is fully booked for a while so this means I might not be able to get done what I wanted to do like discharge printing onto my digital designs as I feel some of them need the colour taking out of them so they fit in better with my other samples. If this is the case I'm going to try and show these through hand designs.
This week also tried screen printing with reactive dyes. This works best on lighter fabrics.
