Final Screen Print Collection.

Over the last few days I have been working endlessly in the print room trying to get at least a few prints I like. Every print I have been creating has taken a lot of time due to them all being done by using the process of mono printing. I decided to go with this method of printing as I felt it worked best with my collection and it gave across the mood and colours I was trying to convey. My prints are very busy but I think they work well due to the graphic and illustrative style of motifs.

Back Up and Running.

So I am feeling much better! My tonsils have decreased in size and returned to their original colour! I have been a bit worried about missing out on uni last week due to illness. I felt very behind on my work due to missing 3 key days in the print room. I feel I am lacking in screen prints so this week I am mainly concentrating on working in the print room. In my early experiments in the print room I worked with pigment paints. This wasn't working well for me as I found it hard to relate my colour palette and mood of my collection in the prints as I was only working with limited colour. Today I tried Mono printing, this type of printing uses reactive dyes which are painted directly onto the screen then fixed onto fabric with Manu Tex. I liked this method as I could use most of my colours and my prints have become busier and seem to connect to my digital prints more.
