Newbies

It feels good when you complete something you've been working on for a while...all those hours of designing,testing,printing,more printing,even more printing..and then finally you have...the fruit of your labour....
These are final prints for my second last project at uni...a collection of exclusive hand-printed textiles for interiors inspired by INDIA.

Its been a long an invlolved process with lots of learning and experimenting on the way..

I'm very happy with the final result.....

The fabrics will be made into lamps and some of it into cushions.I've also done a few prints to be stretched onto canvas...All prints are on 100% cotton on varying fabrics like cheese cloth,linen,duck and some linen/rayon blends.

lovely fabrics :)

To answer your question re the heatsetting... for now we're outsourcing it, until we have saved enough for a big tunnel oven or other way of 'cooking' the fabrics. It's good to have it outsourced, it's not the best part of screen printing ;)
