Project 2 – Repeat Pattern Inspired by Norwich Shawls- Outcome 1

I wanted to create a repeat pattern using the graphs I had created but wanted to try a different graph , I tried the half diamond but felt it was too small but it did relate to my original drawings of dragonflies as the half diamond on its own looks like a square simplified dragonfly..

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

Learning to take forward….

Keep trying, not to give up with CAD programmes

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