Using paintings, dyed fabric and screen prints as new drawings to create new designs from I've experiemented with panel designs and mirrored repeats. At the moment I feel my throw, cushion and vase collection is much closer to being refined and finalised then my prints for bedding which I need to do some new contextual/inspirational research into before I can develop them further.

In the print room I have been testing new methods for my sheers collection, printing with foil glue on varied fabrics has been my most succesful. When held up to the light the design becomes visible perfect for the voile outcome sheers are often used for.

I have found the devore linen a challenge, alot of my designs are created from fine lines so seeing the burnt out design on a thicker fabric that doesn't allow light through is proving hard. Next week I am going to continue sampling with it. It is a fabric I would like to keep within the collection as it adds variation to weight and texture but also possibilties for other complimentary outcomes.

I was planning to create a look book from the sheers collection as it not only demonstrates a variety of repeat styles but also a variation of techniques you can only achieve through screen printing such as flocking and foiling. However, after creating some of the samples and realising the best way to veiw them is often held up in natural light as you would see them in context I have made the descion not too as binding them together would take away from the what the designs are essentially about.
