Print room fun!

Mixing up my colours for printing! Sticking to my pastel colour pallete brief.

I've never used seven screens before so i'm very excited to see the way my colour separations print into my pattern!

First three screens...

five screens...

My first seven colour-way hand screen printed design! I'm really pleased with the way it turned out, i can't wait to start my length! 

But first... a little more experimentation!

Foiling and puff binder on handmade paper...

Coordinating final A1 hand painted designs...

complete with foiling on top...

Second coordinated design...

Acrylic paint surface transfer of CAD patterned images.

I really enjoyed using this technique as it gave a much more rustic effect in comparison to getting a complete printed off CAD A1 repeat.

Designs coming together...

After producing a range of layouts I thought I would update you all on how I'm getting along with my latest final designs for Spring Wishing.

Below is the design i'm working on to produce a length.

I'm drawing various sections in different coloured pens to distinguish the colour-ways for my final print to transfer onto koda-traces. 

Slowly but surely...

After completeing my colour seperations i have decided on making a printed pattern with six colour-ways.

I'm in the process of coating and exposing my screens to print with! Very exciting!!!

I can't wait to get in that print room!
