Here I began taking some of my drawing and my photographs, and trying to blend them together a little. After having some designs put on screens and using devore, puff and foil on top of my dyed fabrics, it was then said to me in a group tutorial that I needed to start thinking of how to make these fabrics beautiful - rather than just a lot of texture. Beautiful is what I was really going for. It took me a while, and I decided after a few attempts that I wasn't happy with how my hand drawn elements were fitting in with the photographs, I just couldn't get it right... So I resorted to piling up a number of photographs at a time, using layer effects, transparency and changing the hues really worked in the end. I wanted to keep an element of the branches and trees that I'd used on my larger devore samples and screens, so I enlarged them a little and had them right at the top of each placement print. I was thinking about making these into a repeat, but I just wasn't sure on how, without mirroring the photographs, and so I've decided that they will probably work best and large scale pieces of fabric, therefore with no need to repeat.

I've had these 6 digitally printed onto silk mousline, with the intention of foiling, flocking and embellishing them further, giving them that layered look I was after, even more so than they already are.
