I have finished my prints and washed/ironed them all so they are ready to be hung on my rail put into my context illustrations.
Overall I am happy with what I have achieved but I have so much more I would love to do- luckily I can continue working after deadline so that I am making more for TexPrint, degree show and maybe new designers????
I wanted to continue my style in my visualisations and ensure that I am still using the wood as an accent- also using some collaged cut out pieces from my drawings to subtly fill areas such as the plant pot and chair is successful and playful!

Some initial context illustrations:

Today I have been adjusting and adding to older pieces after looking at them all together in one place. Using post it notes has helped me decide where I need to add to and what I should alter/ cover. I also wanted to add some more of the burnt caramel/orange shade to the prints so they wordked better together.

I added to a couple of the prints with posca pen and graphite to add to areas and to fill in some shapes- i couldnt do this whilst printing as the graphite fades too much. I tested permanent marker the other day and this stays throughout the steaming and printing process- Something to think about after deadline for degree show???

(adding to the faded areas as this was the one that wasnt steamed- overall the colours dont look too bad considering!!)

the print that was stained blue!! (before)

adding to the print to distract from the blue tint! (after)
