I wanted to experiment with the photographs of the machine embroidered chrysanthemum – both the initial and the inverted image.

I enjoy sublimation printing , the printing is instant I also feel in control of the printing process allowing me to experiment with the image rather than just managing the process.

Continue sublimation printing in the next unit, experiment with surface texture.

I tried manipulating  graphs in Photoshop to create square blocks of colour with some surprising results,

If I am honest I am not sure I could repeat my final outcome as I am not sure what I did but really like the repeat structure of the design.

The final outcome was printed onto sublimation paper and heat pressed onto viscose fabric.experiment 002

Keep trying, not to give up with CAD programmes

Experiment with this print using the laser cutter and further sublimation dyeing.
