Final design experimentation

The Final Design Experimentation

i've started off by tracing up my design on
some tracing paper so it can be repeated on a bigger scale like so ..
 
 
I got an A3 piece of paper, divided it into 4 and traced it on. This will then be put on a screen to later be printed with onto material and paper.
 
 
 
 
 
 
After my design was put onto a screen I have been experimenting with different ways of printing. iI've printed onto calico with puffbinder, printed onto a dyed green background and then on some cartridge paper with paint. The print on the paper did not turn out very well as I don't think I put enough pressure on when wiping the paint on with the squeegee.
 
 
 
 
 
This is what devore printing should look like, however the paste which you put on your screen to print with  did not work.
 
 
 
 



Final Designs

I am now approaching the end of my William Morris & Co project. I have designed and drawn up a few designs that I could use as my final wallpaper design. These are my ideas which I have took from my visual sheets and sketchbook work.


I have tried to incorporate William Morris' flowers and add Peter Blakes vibrant colours. My favourite out of the 3 is the 1st one. Ive used William Morris' birds and flowers and then added some Peter Blake into the centre of the flowers.
