Final print 5

Using heat transfer and pigments I created this second feather printed final. I kept this simple and used slightly different shades of black and gray to give tonal qualities and also to show the different colours that real feathers are.  I wanted to show that they are all different and I feel this print does. 

Final print 4

This is my favourite print out of all 5 finals that I created, I feel it is very feminie and delicate with the use of pale colour pallet that I have mixed up. I also like how I have used different types of pigment to make part stand out giving depth to the print, the hand embroidary and machine stitching also exaggerates this feel. It also draws your eye in to the print as the thread was slightly bright shades compared to the other colours I have included. 

Final print 3

This is my third print final and create by just getting on with it and doing it. I didn't plan the design or composition I his kept adding to it Untill I felt it was enough. 


Final print 2

This was the second print that I created I had planned out the layout and repeat pattern and this print and design went exactly how I had planned. I added a range if different techniques to create the detail of the drawings I was trying to portray. 


Final print 1

This was the first print final that I tackled and although I made a few simple mistakes I was able to correct them.

Here is a gorgeous tea cup and saucer, I felt the need to include this in my blog as I think the surface design on the porcelain was so delicate and detailed. I think these represent a feminie atmosphere and the colour is rich and powerful which gives a strong lively feel to the porcelain peice.

Here I have dyed the fabric that I had chosen to portray my final fabrics onto. These pictures show the layout that I have planned to print ;
