Winter Photography

       The Angel in the Garden


Shadows on the brickwork and snow evoking reflections and tactile interests.

       Ideas for photographic printed textiles

                I have always had an interest in photography and over the Christmas period I had an opportunity to use some excellent Cannon photographic equipment while studying my Masters in Design. I am currently looking at different techniques to create and fine different images. I have used a micro lens fir the photo of the garden angel. I am looking at printed fabric design for interiors and fashion. This particular image I will be having as look at photo shopping using Adobe CC in order to create a fabric or a wall paper. I can see it developed into a wall paper using a gilt background. I have recently added silver and bronze leaf to a printed Lino design which I really enjoyed. Adding more detail to a one colour Lino print adding an extra dymention, opulence and uniqueness.

Screen Printing with Natural Dyes Part Two

Image
What do I want to find out from my project? I am going to be looking at green eco conscious processes and also add knowledge about conservation biology to inform the viewer.  Firstly how I can make my own natural dyes/inks using traditional processes. ·          Researching ancient recipes from the middle ages in order to include ways to create art within eco conscious values (incorporating environmental needs to reduce global warming). ·           This will include developing my own dyes with added natural thickener to create screen printing inks for printing. This clip shows how you can easily create small screens to work from home. The demonstrator is also using home made inks.       The reasoning behind this is to reduce my carbon footprint by not using chemical dyes and also I will be reducing my package consumerism. Every time someone buys something from a shop it is packaged u...
