Painted Designs...

Painted out designs are very time consuming but their definitely worth it when their done. This is the painted out design which goes with one of my lengths. Even though the painted out design is in two main colours I think because of the variation in tone of the colours it still gives the painted design depth. I really love this design and it has taken me ages to paint. Before this course I absolutely hated water colour and now I never stop using it. Very strange! I hope you like!

Proud to be British!

What a beautiful day to remember! The country seems to be on such a high for this historic wedding. It was very heart warming watching them get married and everyone look absolutely stunning! I loved how there was a nice combination of modern and traditional! And her DRESS was GORGEOUS! It was so stunning, I couldn't keep my eyes of her! Congratulations to William and Kate!

Fourth Length....

I only expected to get one design done per day this week as I only had the print table booked on two days but now I am on my fourth design. I wanted to use a variety of fabric weights, this one above is organza silk (which is why you can see my previous design through) and again I am printing the tree design. I haven't finished this design yet so I will continue with it on Tuesday! Its very strange having another 4 day weekend as I thought today was Saturday!

Number Three.....

This is my third length! This is another of my favourite designs but I did occur a few problems on the way! It isn't prefect but that's what makes the piece have that hand printed feel. This is the second of six different designs I am producing!

Second Length!

Things went quite well after my first print and I really love this design so with determination I thought I would get another colour way printed. This is the same design but has a really different feel. The mirror is created using devore and gives you the sense you can look through it. I quite like this and think it will be really interesting when hung up.

Yay! Finals on the go!

Busy busy! With only two weeks left after this week I am busy printing my final lengths! This was my first length. It is my favourite design and consists of an antique mirror design in a baroque style motif. The colours I chose I really love as they are quite rich and royal! Fitting with todays big wedding coincidently! It was very nervous to get going with my length but was fun!

Professional Practice.. DONE!

It was very hectic yesterday morning with everyone rushing about to get final bits done for their professional practice hand in. These are some photographs taken for my branding idea. I hand printed a paper brown bag with one of my bird images on. I think it looks quite sophisticated which was the idea I was going for.
