Print - Week 8

This is the last week of print and have been trying to make the most of my time. I sent some digital prints to be printed out on Cotton Satin and Habotai. There is was quite a queue in the digital print room so not expecting the prints till the end of the week but this still leaves enough time for me to bonderweb the edges so they don't fray. I also managed to get some time in the print room which I was please about. This gave me the chance to try more of the different techniques from previous weeks print room sessions as I wanted to develop my designs further onto dip and tie dyed backgrounds as a feel it fits in with my colour pallet better rather than a plain white background because they look quite simple in my sketch book. I tried to experiment with the discharge printing by doing it onto a dip dyed background to see what the outcome was. On one I used my motifs and other I used one of the ready exposed screen with dots one which still fit well with my project and motifs.

My digital print came out really well and am chuffed to bits with the end results. I'm going to have to be selective when picking my final samples as I don't think all of them go together or compliment my colour pallet.

Once my digital prints have been processed and steamed I gathered all my hand and digital designs together to see what worked well with each other and if any stood out. I narrowed my samples down to ones which i think compliment each other and work well as a final collection of samples. Over all I am happy with my designs, but some of the digital ones the colour came out slightly different.
