For this outcome I wanted to combine 2 processes to create 1 outcome, I decided to screen print over my laser cut silk, the screen print image was a modified version of the laser cut image.
I had been having difficulties managing to handle the screens to create the repeat print in the print room, 2 screens had been placed on 1 large screen and I had been having difficulties moving it around and working from left to right (probably my dyslexia as my coordination skills can be a bit strange at times ) so I decided to try it the other way around and to work top to bottom printing both screens at once.
I was very pleased with the outcome , the registration marks can be seen on both ends of the screen I feel the marks act as corners to frame the print, also the difference in size of the pattern is not noticeable, the prints work much better as a 1 full screen image .
I found it difficult to photograph the silk to show the fabric at its best, the laser cut has given the silk an ethereal effect.

Experiment with the laser cutter
Experiment with combining processes
If something is not working look at why, try and change it ..
