This Project was 8 weeks long which was about looking at layers and how I could combined florals and stripes together to create a unique collection.
I firstly drew a selection of some flowers inspired by modern and vintage styles of florals, which was then laser cut on to tracing paper. I layered the flowers on to of each other taking photos which has created 3 layers :
1> black background
2> flowers
3> pattern created from two layers of flowers

I started introducing stripes on top of faded/decay background, which was created through reactive dyes and discharge. This allow me to control the level of colour and the how much the image appeared through one an other. I did a collection of different colours, stripes and backgrounds and then scanned them into Photoshop and started to play around with florals on top.
I used the techniques of Photoshop and screen print together. I either screen print then scan the image into Photoshop or digital print the background and screen print on top.
I have used Devore in some of my fabric designs which allows me to build layers using pigment and discharge on top.
My designs give a rich and mature feeling to the collection due to the colour and style of techniques I have used.

A lot my design were also screen print print only, using pigment, discharge and reactive dyes. As well as combing stripes and florals I also had a small collection of only stripes and only floral designs.
I have added hand embroidery in a selection of my designs which i think gives the collection a special touch.
