| Pigment Resist on Velvet Cotton |
After sampling in the print room and some inspiration/contextual research my second collection has had a turn in its direction. Rather than dip dying I've found stripes created by tie-dye much more interesting visually, in this print that has inspired my turning point I used pigment as a resist that I printed onto the fabric first. It works really well on pile fabrics creating a contrast in textures and subtly shows the design. After sampling a range Velvet Cotton and Moleskin Cotton have proved to be the best in keeping the rich warm tones of the colour.

Paola Navone's rug collection has inspired to test various folding methods, the lines she creates are much more appropriate to an interior typical tie-dye prints you may see in fashion.
