Disaster day edition #2
May 11, 2017Completing wallpaper> wanted to get it sent to large format quickly before the wait time was too long- I wanted to potentially get these printed in lengths- or do I wait until degree show so ic an make alterations if they need it
My designs have changed and developed, now focusing more on scribbles and markings, made into forms in some areas?I really like the looseness of these.
After looking at my blue print style secondary print on a screen print onto a length of lining paper- this has inspired me to use a n inky blue after looking at mid century modern colours
Tried mid century modern colours, using the deep blue and flamingo pink??
Using limited colours with tonal variation to create a strong collection.
Completing the blind competition has enabled me talk about my work, telling a story and creating a narrative!
Washed my two samples from the other day- unfortunately they bottle green/blue bled and made my prints blue. I washed these a couple of times more on a cold machine wash but this made them worse!!
I’m really upset about this as this was probably my fault when hand washing- i must take more care next time. I have to seethes as a positive, it might bring other opportunities and has made me resale I’m just thoroughly wash out my fabrics.
Previously thought about using discharge and maybe try to mask off shapes to create a bold coloured background> this might be a good way to cover up the blue tint left on the prints that went wrong????
I have booked in next week for printing now> i’m glad I left myself enough time for mistakes to happen. I originally left all of next week for context boards and finalising so now printing for the first 3 days- hopefully will get my designs finished to a standard that I am pleased with.
