Yesterday i worked on creating lengths that i would wow myself by. I didnt neccessary like all of them but i liked more then i disliked which was a plus. I have come to learn that one persons trash is another persons tresure. What i dislike, someone else will love.
The scale is as what it would be in real life when the material gets printed. I have now got my usb ready to send over to a well known digital company in Birmingham who both wash and dry my samples within the price. After deciding which samples i am sending off, i decided that i should start to to think about sending off actual lengths. I have decided to send off 36 samples and 3 lengths which are a metre long and 135cm wide. They should arrive in about a weeks time so i look forward to showing you the outcomes of my digital prints! As for the problems at the start, i decided that after i created the usb stick with all my samples ready for posting tomorrow, that i could start some illustrations of my new samples! i got a few done but not quite as many as i wanted to. hopefully i wil be able to finish them off tomorrow.

Friday.
As I have been soo busy i have been unable to update my blog. My appologies to my followers. I was up until 1.30am working on the sheets for my screens. As my images are in an A4 sketchbook and i draw images half the size (a5) i enlargened each image to a huge scale. Soo huge that it comes right off the page. i LOVE working with huge oversized scales. Its different and unique. The images i was going to use for my screens were very blurry so i decided to go around each of my images to give them a smoother edge, with a sharpe permanent marker. Friday morning, i Coated an A0 size screen so that i could place lots of a3 images onto it without having to wash the screen every time i use an image and then wait for it to dry. I transfrerred my images onto the screens, washed them down to find that i had been washing it down for 45 mins!! i couldnt believe it!! print doesnt always mean that things will run as smoothly as u want them too!! i had coated the screen with the imulsion far too thick!! so it was taking forever to clean. I have taken pictures to show you how they look! i coated another screen that was much smaller and hey presto - it all worked well! I manage to reach my target and devore all the samples that i wanted to devore on.

getting my screens ready...
Planning to devore all my 26 samples that i have had digitally printed with a small design on and devoreing huge over sized images on top. VERY EXCITED!!!
Devore.
started to devore on my fabrics today. Recieved the digital prints that i created in the post yesterday. Had no clue what so ever what the prints would turn out to be like. I work with creating patterns over patterns and patterns within pattern. I am trying out digital prints that are tiny prints and i am going to devore with large designs. Pretty impressed with the outcomes of my samples!! pictures will be up shortlyyyyyyy :) xxx
