Finalising Ideas

After careful consideration and planning, my final collection of samples is becoming more resolved. The context for this particular work has altered slightly from the start of the project - from interior textiles for the home to interior artworks for a corporate space. With this in mind, the scale of the samples needed some attention.

The A2 screen designs really make an impact on the surface of the fabrics, and combined with other processes make the samples dramatic. The graphic screens are far more fascinating than previous block designs and the negative spaces give the samples character.

The combination of textures on the surface has improved the tactility of the samples, which works in favour of my context.

Up scaling the embroidery designs gives a more spectacular appearance, and creating my own stitch on the software has meant they appear translucent when stitched over the print. By carefully selecting and planning which colours to use, I discarded the pale pink printing ink as it wasn't vibrant enough on the fabrics. I have however incorporated it into some of the digital embroidery where I saw appropriate as the translucency of the thread was more effective over darker shades.
