digital prints

I created some interesting digital prints om photoshop. I found that I could duplicate the same print, and change the colours to get different effects. I then chose the ones that I thought were more successful to be digitally printed onto fabric.

I did two lots of digital prints, my first set was on cotton popilon, which I didnt think was very successful. The fabric felt like a cheap white cotton work shirt, and the prints came out slightly scewed. The patterns that I'd chosen to be printed weren't bery successful either, and I ended up combining them with some other samples and using them as a background, so they weren't a complete waste.
For my second time round I decided to go back to photoshop and create some different prints, by using my motifs, as opposed to my photographs. I chose a thick dense fabric for the prints to be transfered onto called cotton canvas. It feels like a strong, durable fabric, and it also holds the dye really well. I'm really happy with these set of prints

This is origionally from a photo of my components. I think the colours are amazing because you would never have thought they origionated from a TV. I have used one of my ETHOS stitch designs to give the sample more depth. I think this piece is really successful because of the contrast in colour. The only thing I would change would be to add in more yellow thread into the stitch-out.
