Tutorial:-
This
week’s tutorial had me thinking more into my theme and how I’m bringing bits of
old and bits of new. On screen I have ‘old’ and ‘modern’ motifs and I’m going
to try out dying my own fabrics in the dye baths. I feel that the uncertainty
of not knowing that its not going to be one block colour is good as it will
give my fabrics a more imperfect look which is something I’m keen to capture.
Personal Practice:-
In
the print room I’ve been doing a bit of trial and error in the dye baths. I’ve
been trying to match my fabrics to my colour palette. Its been quite a lengthy
process but one that I’m happy with. I also had a go at tie dying my fabrics
but boldness of the tie dye take your eye away from some of the motifs. I did
try some tester prints on the dyed fabrics just to test the dyes and motifs on
them and the reactive dyes sit a lot better rather than the pigment dye. When
doing my final collection I want to be considerate when placing my motifs so
with doing layout thumbnails in my sketchbook once my experimentation process
is over. This makes sure I’m not over the top with the placement of my motifs.
