Trendstop project

Wow what a stressful year that has been, but absolutely brilliant.

I have enjoyed experimenting with different techniques and really finding my niche within printed textiles.

I started off mainly working in photoshop and illustrator. I thought that was what is was best at....i guess I was playing it safe; not experimenting to my full potential.....sooooo I wanted to start using the original methods of printing, making screens and mixing my own dyes. This definitely made me think differently and in a way that experimenting is key to the development of my designs and way of thinking.

I havent managed to take photographs of my screen printed designs but heres a few of my experiments.....
