Final Wallpaper Pieces

I wanted to show the three handmade wallpapers and hangings when they were completed.  By hanging them up, it shows how effective the pieces are.  Looking at the pieces before everything was put together or whilst they were lay flat,  you couldn't full see how effective they were.  Once they were hung up, you could then see the look and feel that I wanted to create. 

Lined Drawings Of Animals For Final Wallpaper Pieces

These are black and coloured line drawings of animals and birds drawn on tracing paper and are drawings that I wanted to use for my final wallpaper pieces.  They would be combined with drawings, paintings and collaged leaves to create an animal kingdom.

These are some shots of my business card.  I wanted to have a simple, clean, crisp look whilst still using  some of my drawings, cut outs and textured work.  The green and red of the parrot are also part of my colour palette and I wanted to bring some of that colour in and have it on the business card so that it completed the look and the link to my theme. 

Screen Printing Larger Design With Colour

This initially started off as one of my final plant designs with white pigment on the linen.  After I had screen printed one of the rows and lifted the screen, we realised that a piece of the masking tape we had used to mark off where to put the screen had been left on the linen.  This left a strip of the original colour of the linen showing through one of the designs when it should of been white.  After trying to correct it using the white pigment and a smaller squigie, you could still see the strip showing through.  I made the decision of adding a row of a plant in one of the colours from my colour palette and thought I could use this piece as either a smaller croqui design or use it to cover a vintage stool or chair.

Screen Printing Another Final Design

Still using linen and white pigment, I also screen printed another design using two different cut out of plants.  This design along with the other on linen, are part of my plant collection and both are long drops of fabric showing each design that are to be used for interiors.

Smaller Screen Print Designs

Whilst I am doing so many larger scale final designs on drops of linen fabric, I am also producing smaller scale designs on to linen as well.  These are some examples and you can see where some of the white pigment isn't as strong in some places as others.  This helps towards creating the texture I wanted which you can see in my original drawings, cut outs and paintings with white paint on brown paper.

Screen Printing A Design In Print Studio

These are some images of me printing one of my final designs on to linen.  The screen was quite a large screen so I did have to have some help when I was putting it in the right place to print and also when I needed to lift the screen up after printing. Before I printed the plant designs, I measured and marked with masking tape so I knew where I had to print each time.
