I have a good collection of drawings and ideas/research now but just unsure how to sample- is this partly because I am still not certain on my context?
Jills workshop today has helped me translate some drawing into print, it has helped me refine the shape and line in my work. Today has enabled me to think how I could further develop these mini samples i have quickly created from my drawings. I essentially see this samples as more drawings as I collaged the sublimation papers together and then transferred them onto fabric- I really like the results but I feel as if they need more texture to them.
I could sublimation print with some of my scanned drawings, colours or designs on photoshop and combine collage techniques with these- also could try different materials to sublimate onto? Could melt materials with sublimation print?
I could also use weaving as a base for sublimation? I could weave polyester fabrics then print on top?- would I have to re warp my rigid heddle loom (currently has cotton warp)? what would happened if I had two different fibres in weaves?
I could weave with indigo warp and use log cabin technique to relate block colours and collage drawings?
I have a lot of things to think about, I need to continue drawing and decide on my context in detail to then help me with my sampling options.
