Week Eight

After creating numerous patterns with my circles I now wanted to use them within my work but I needed to find a way to transfer them onto fabrics, as my samples were going to be aimed towards a fashion and textiles audience. I tried various ways of transferring them over from cellulose thinner, Image maker, and printing to printing on canvas then it occurred to me I could transfer my images onto fabric using the digital technique. I thought this was a great contrast to the work I was trying to create with hand processes and gave good contrast to contemporary and the traditional which is something I always like to challenge. After the printing on canvas paper which is printed by inkjet I had an idea to cut my patterns into circles again but was not happy with the quality I was getting from the canvas paper, so decided to try it in another media which was laminate which I felt worked great, creating circles that reminded me of sequins.
