Print Screening 12TH November 2015

In the screen printing room I created a lot of samples, experimenting with different techniques and ideas. Using foil adhesive glue then heat transferring foils and flock paper, using pearlized pigment binder and puff binder with my designs to create interesting samples. I feel the puff binder worked well to create a raised surface of design which works well in my sportswear collection, working on lycra and elastic polyester. I also had a go at printing onto a quilted stitched fabric to see what would happen to the design with texture underneath. I feel this worked well as it added another technique and design to the original prints, I could see this working well on a sports jacket or fleece. 

Using the screens to apply the designs kept the effect of the marks and layers of paint compared to the photo transfers I had done previously, so the print room has been beneficial for me to be experimenting and taking risks with textures. Although I feel I should of planned the designs I wanted to create before the session, as I was experimental with the medias I was using but not with my designs, overall I feel I made some strong samples for my work and didn't want to make them too busy by layering up all different designs.
