Two test registration prints I did for my upholstery fabrics. The print uses 4 screens for the image and heat transfer dyes for the colour background. The one on the left was my first attempt, a few errors. The registration missed on the key and all of the colours, were too dark. The right hand print was my second attempt, all the registration hit on this one and I diluted the dye for the background colour. Bit more successful, but the background was a bit too light.

This is the large repeat print I did, using the same imagery as before but with the addition of the compass/butterfly wings image and also this time the golden key was foiled. The background colour worked much better, I think I found the right dye mix. This was a tricky print to do and register, but it was worth it in the end.

This is the same print only with the colours changed around a bit, and the black outline was foiled. I think it completely changes the print but still links as a collection.

Just some vintage style prints I did for indigo in the second year using line drawings and a 'luxurious' colour pallet. I came across them while sorting out my folders and I found they really inspired me again and gave me some ideas for my current project. They were originally fashion fabrics, but I think they'd be better suited to wallpaper. I might try something in in this style but using my current drawings. *watch this space*

These are two wallpaper designs I produced for a wallpaper project in the second year. For the imagery, (birds and butterflies) are fine detail pen drawings from nature and wild life books books, whereas the trees are loose ink drawings.

This was the piece I exhibited for a group exhibition at Walcot chapel in Bath. The skeleton is completely free machine embroidered, the back ground digitally printed and the frame laser cut. I called him Tony :)

Only black and white threads were used, the grey areas were achieved by stitching faster so more of the black bobbin thread was pulled through the fabric mixing with the white top thread. My initial idea was to then add decorative embroidered swirls to the skeleton, but he took long enough as it is and I think he still looks charming without. :)
