Continuing on from yesterdays print, I added extra markings and bolder cut out shapes but now I am not sure if I have overworked this piece?
I think once this has been washed I can decide whether to add to this or cover any areas up which look too cluttered?
I experimented further with polychromatic today whilst using masking off techniques with paper stencils- layering this over the similar shaped cut out. I like this as this looks similar to some areas in my drawings which initially took inspiration from Atelier Bingos work.
I also finished another piece today which was much simpler than the others, I felt that I kept repeating the other pieces and I wasn't too happy with them. Taking a different approach by drawing straight onto the fabric before I even started to print meant that I wasn't working onto a blank canvas and helped me decide where to place the shapes afterwards.
Tomorrow I plan to finish off my wallpaper and try to complete my entry for the direct blind competition. After doing some more research- which i decided was needed after the crit yesterday- I am feeling confident that this will help me make more appropriate choices for the wallpaper designs.
I am pleased with what I have accomplished today as I aimed to get 1 and a half /2 done per day if I stayed 9am-9pm but I managed to double my expectations. I just need to insure I am not rushing them and ensuring that they are of high quality. I need to remind my self to reflect on the pieces I have done and ensure I pick out the positive areas and use that to create a new piece. I also need to remember to refer to my drawings and my inspiration boards.
