Screen Printing
I have exposed a screen with my images on so that I would be able to start sampling and mixing my designs together. I have been experimenting mixing dyes using hot and cold dye baths using a variety of different fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen. I mixed a variety of Printing pastes such as, Discharge, Manutex and Pigment.
Here are some samples that I quickly produced:

Signature Style
I feel that through the course of my Final Major Project I have found my Signature Style of drawing. Using collage quirky line drawings and layering. I have completed drawing sheets for my project and I am going to upload them for you all to see.
My theme is Woodland Mixed with Random indoor objects that you wouldn't find together. I have mixed my drawings together to create placement prints that can then be taking into Photoshop/ Screen Print and designed as a pattern.
