Final Piece - Surface Pattern

Following up to my final piece, I had to do specific research according to the theme of my final piece. As I was doing a Japanese themed collection, I decided to do a Japanese mood board and research page. I also researched other phonesocks, notebooks, stamps, mugs and wallpapers for inspiration. I also used pinterest. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of the wallpaper sample I designed.

Oil Pastel Scratching - Surface Pattern

I created this technique by
completely covering a piece
of card with black oil pastel
and then scratching into it
with a pin. This gives a
lovely effect of a negative
drawing and if you scratch
deep you can also reach the
brown card.

Bubble Wrap - Surface Pattern

This technique was done by
ironing scraps of objects inside
 of two pieces of bubble wrap
(underneath a piece of paper
so it doesn't melt onto the iron).

Screen Printing - Surface Pattern

In this session we did a group Screen Print, we all drew a 10 by 10 drawing which was developed onto a fine mesh for screen printing. We printed them ourselves (the right picture is mine). Some did it on paper and others did it on old t-shirts and other fabric. This was quite a fun technique to learn about and do.

Kimono's

The Kimono is  a traditional dress is Japan worn by women and translates to "thing to wear". They are for social display and represent a woman's wealth, age, marital status and even emotion.
