Disaster day edition #3

May 16, 2017

Had a tutorial with nick, going through the last things I need to do before hand in.. Im not going to magic tape samples as this gives me the opportunity to work on them after hand in.

Does the pink on the wallpaper work? Maybe I should think again about how I could improve the colour ways after deadline?

Unfortunately, dues to the pressure and stress of deadline week I accidentally started washing out my (favourite) piece without steaming it. Luckily with the help of Yasmins, the damage wasnt too bad. The colours are slightly washed out and have altered a bit... but this has been a learning experience and made me realise I must remember to focus and double check? 

I will work back over this one with some blue flock to brighten it up slightly and add some texture and interesting surface.

Today I also went over one of the blue samples (that bled) with a royal navy> i masked off areas with paper stencils that were already there to create a resist. I dont think this is particularly successful although I have a some positive feedback from peers! I think this is  technique that could be used after deadline- maybe with a  different colour. I need to ensure that the screen isn’t blocked as this made some markings on the fabric which was not what I intended.
